35. Unsustainable economy
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 01:12 PM by supernova
I don't know how big corporations expect us keep the world's largest ecnomy going (Buy! Buy! Buy!), if none of us have jobs that pay us money so we can, you know, buy stuff. :shrug:

I wonder if at some point the civil service class and politicians will realize they have been had because they will have no tax base. No one will be able to afford to pay their taxes from their nonexistent incomes. Revenues to governments of all sizes will see revenues shrink.

It's just incomprehensible to me.
