Why not just close it down ? [View all]

Retail , agricultural workers , fast food , banks ( many bank tellers have to apply for food stamps) Armored car drivers

hotel , restaurant , many casino workers , all these jobs pay minimum or just slightly above , ........who else?

You know who would still show up to work , state and federal employees that are paid by tax dollars and have a good retirement and health care.



Good luck Washington and the corporations running the country with that.






Yes it's a radical idea but in my old age I'm becoming more and more radical.
We have become a nation of sheep to the corporations and a government run by them
