They know that come 2017 they are done, so they need to ramp up the pillaging to epic proportions while they still can.

This clearly cannot be classified as a murder...this unfortunate man committed hari-kari and fell on that blade on his own accord...carry on, nothing to see here.

Double the minimum wage...that man is on crack. The price of goods in the stores would skyrocket and the economy would fail. The cost of doing business would be so astronomical, it would not be worth a business being in business.from food to water to all those 'price controlled' items that no one makes any money off in the first place, would just be insane. For a while now it has been roughly calculated that the main stream grocery stores mark up their cost of goods by a third to cover their expenses and get their profit...now, double the salaries of the majority of workers...the results would be staggering.

HA!! Not funny...but funny...I'm leaving now...LOL

Apparently God wants us to dredge up and destroy what he made so perfectly to start with...in the pursuit of economic growth.

Of course he has...they've all been bought. Like anything the government touches, and tries to defend these days just stinks...corruption and greed and a complete disregard for what the populace are trying to scream in their ears. He sums it up right here with the mindset...

"We can’t ignore what (the environmentalists) say but at the same time we have to proceed with development and growth because on the one hand we have to use the assets given to us by God to cause for the economic growth and development of our people.”

We simply cannot afford it. We are already in debt up to our eyeballs...VAT or some other form of tax is needed to strictly pay down debt...nhi is NOT cheap, heath insurance is extremely expensive. Let's be sure that any and all discussions about tax reform are weighted with the concept you all are wanting to spend a fortune in funding NHI...don't think that has even been tabled as a factor in any VAT discussion to date. So what are we going to do...roll out VAT, then got after NHI and realize, oh hey, we need to bump up VAT to cover NHI now...bring it all out up front NOW...let's not bicker about the funds needed to do it after the fact and hit us with MORE taxes...roll out vat April 2015, cripple the economy, then roll out NHI in 2016 and have to boost VAT to pay for it, further crippling the economy...NO NO NO!!

Shameless

No man...that was just a bit of causing harm...actually, they were covering themselves up with car tires to keep warm, not realizing that a random super focused beam of light would cause the tires to spontaneously combust...all very innocent really.

At least someone is giving them some sort of reward...the government isn't doing crap.
