That's what liberals never understand: if it wasn't for all the *unemployed*, *Unemployment* wouldn't be so high. The solution ain't to restrict the freedom to innovate by not hirin' anybody who needs a job of the heroes of our entrepreneurial society, but to expand another, more worthy, government program: the President's kill list. Expand it. A lot. And, then! I find out they're even protestin' that! I's mindin' my own business, tryin' to get on the list to stop folks callin' me up to sell me credit default swaps and exceedingly specialized undergarments for purposes that perhaps should not be discussed at length on this list, when I ran across this travesty: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/create-do-not-kill-list/HwqFwRtG What's gonna happen to this country if people keep on bein' able to say what they really think instead of what they oughtta be sayin'? Well, I better crawl back inside my cardboard box now and ducttape shut the door. And y'all better not be comin' around if you know what's good for ya.
