NCR, The American Dream (Ecomomics 101) vbg

I began a small business mowing lawns. It grew until I had many employees, but one day the employees formed a union and demanded overtime, paid holidays, 8 weeks vacation, paid health care, retirement, matched IRA contributions and the list went on and on.

My ‘Board of Directors’ advised me to lay off all the workers and replace them with minor children from illegal aliens which I did. They cannot sue me since they are minors and here illegally so I can pay them less than minimum wages and do not have to worry with working conditions or benefits.

This all worked well but because I paid my ‘Board of Directors’ so much the business quickly was heading for bankruptcy. I applied to the government for a bail-out with tax payers’ money and asked for 30 billion dollars explaining I needed the money for bonuses to keep the talented people of my executive board from leaving my company.

The new president saw that my company provided a much needed service and granted the bail-out money. Now the tax payers (and those workers I laid-off) began to complain. The new president seeing public unrest solved the problem by having more money printed to pay the debt.

During the time my company was heading for bankruptcy the executives had bought multi-million dollar homes that they could not afford so the new president bailed them out too.

With all this extra money in circulation the value of the dollar began to plummet. Not to worry the new president said, “I will sell our debt to China!” And everyone lived happily ever after…. Nowhere but America can we live the dream!
