What are folks supposed to do, if their jobs have been destroyed by government (ie: given to H-1B's that have been illegally imported based on false claims of a labour shortage, for example)?

There's actually two main classes of leech****s in here. One class can work but sees the easy leechpath and takes it. The other has made a concerted effort to destroy their bodies and physically can't work (Walmart shoppers anyone?). This class will leech for a longer period of time before we are mathematically forced to cut them off. Just sayin'

What about the class of folks who valiantly send thousands of resumes to employers, being perfectly qualified for the jobs on offer, not even to receive replies from said employers? So they end up having to go onto some form of welfare or disability.

I know a lot of these types of folks. They want to work, but their industries have been so starved for capital (because of all the nonsense in the financial system) that employers just can't afford to use their services.

So being unable to find a job is now cause to commit fraud?

I think you ought to go to prison with them for advocacy of such crap.

Must agree with Resistance, Lowbeyond, and others, such as Tom Baugh - there is no "righting this ship" through standard political/participatory democratic principles. You also cannot out-bullet them - the technology and centralization of power is, essentially, complete, and you cannot escape their "death star," should they train it upon you.
It must implode from within, from its own complete rottenness and decay, and the expiration of the last productive member of society to prey upon.
End of story.
End game is coming.

I noticed the IRS has a mandate to find any mistakes, oversights and keep on those taxpayers until they get money from them. Even if those oversights are losses. The IRS managers are driving their employees hard to extract money once they latch onto a mark.

The banksters socialize losses and privatize profits. Now the government has to extract more money from the people left working in the private sector.

Good luck getting hired if you're a middle-aged rocket scientist who is no longer needed by the private rocket-science industry. Seriously, who on Earth wants to hire all those ex-NASA contractors let go when they cancelled the programs in Florida?

Its survival. Are people who want to work, send out thousands of resumes, and invest massively in their skills, at fault for their unemployment? I'm not advocating fraud, but the 'system' has, in some cases, made fraud necessary for survival. The folks that I'm talking about (if not defending) are those who have done literally everything possible within the confines of their situation to find a job, and still can't find one.

Its easy to tell a high school dropout, "go back to school, get your grade 12". Its easy to tell a drug addict, "get off the damn drugs". But really, what do you tell someone who's trained with the latest/greatest skills, invested in that college degree, and has applied for thousands of jobs across the nation without receiving the courtesy of a response?

Did you actually read this **** before you posted? That's exactly what you're doing. I guess all the people that manufactured wagon wheels should have been committing fraud for the rest of their lives after the car was invented huh? 'Survival' made the fraud necessary after all... smiley
