Legalize prostitution.

(I didn't read the OP so if they mentioned legalizing prostitution, I apologize.)

That's your answer for everything!

And if that judge would have just listened to me, I wouldn't have had to have done all of that community service.

prostitutes make more in Cali then anywhere else in the U.S, but i'm not sure that would be enough. legalizing weed wouldn't help either but both are a great start.

I actually do, just tax the super rich alot BUT only tax them if their money isn't doing anything, if their money is invested in something that jobs X number of people or more then they don't have to pay, so instead of paying the tax the super rich will just start businesses that employ people and not try to make massive profits just break even and if they don't use the money to make jobs

Technically if your money is in the bank it's doing something...Making money is something a corporation is requried to do legally...Taxing rich peolpe means the rich people will move their money to another country that doesn't tax as much...

This issue is really complex. Plus it's not only the number of people who are unemployed but also the type of work those who are unemployed are capable of doing.

They're not all engineers, which the US needs. It's mostly unskilled labour that can't find jobs ( I think last I heard unemployment in that sector could be as high as 16%). For engineers is 3%.

Thats why you put in an even bigger tax for moving large sums of money out of the country, just funnel them to the point where it's in their best interest to create jobs, and please banks mismangement of money is one of the main reasons this happened, money in the bank goes to loans not jobs

1. That woudln't just export jobs, that would export rich people along with their money and the jobs they create.

2. How do you think businesses start up?  Loans.   How do you think businesses expand?  Loans.  Even most busniesses with lots of free capital with take out a loan to expand the business instead of paying outright.

Increasingly, people use their life savings to start a business, and hope they make it.  Business loans increasingly go to established businesses.  What yoiu also have is venture capitalists funding things for equity stake.  When you have a lot of uncertainty in the economy, complete with people unsure where the growth areas are, the end result is lending goes down... WAY down (see how things are today).

Legalize ganja. Do that I myself can start a company that needs about 100 people the 1st
Year alone. Positions would includes horticultures to pilots.

People think legalizing drugs and prostitution will result in 30 million jobs being created over a 5 year period? Is someone going to open up a McHooker's chain, which will employ millions?  Yes, we can go to the world of Idiocracy, where you go to a Starbucks and get a little extra with your order.

1. Who said anything about exporting jobs, and the tax for transfering their money would be more then what they are contributing anyways

2. Most people just do it for houses and several people don't know how to start a buiness get a loan and go bankrupt leaving the bank with less money, it's one of the major reasons the colapsed happend, if the rich make jobs if the buisness fails they are just less rich

Drugs and Protisitution would probably be more arounr 300,000-700,000.  Still ain't bad.


As for creating 7 Million jobs in 5 years.

It's been done before.

Clinton did it, though thanks to the dot com and housing bubbles... so probably don't want to copy the Clinton Method.

Jimmy Carter did it, somehow, despite the economy sucking under him with Stagflation...  Interestingly, unemployment... was the same at the start of his term as it was the end.

and finally

Reagan did it with Reaganomics.

So yeah, we can do it, but your choices are "Another depression" or Reaganomics.

 

Since Reaganomics are the opposite of what you'd like, i'm sure you'll disagree.

1) he means the rich people would move, because the tax system is so idiotic.

2)  That isn't one of the major reasons the colapse happened... the collapse happened because the government forced banks to make  a bunch of bad housing loans that created an unheard of national property crash. (Property up and downs are ALWAYS local only).  This caused the derivitives market to fail.
