As a country, China is the fastest growing economy is it not? Does it not also have the greatest gap between rich and poor?

there might be a reason why ...and not what you think, the gap is a result of the growth, and most people say china is an overheating economy

So basically the poor have done fuck all to make themselves better off is what that says.

And will always look for an excuse and blame those better off than themselves, rather than take a long hard look in a fucking mirror.

It is known that to control inflation you need to have a percentage of your population unemployed. You should be paying the unemployed more for living on shit wages and suffering the barrage of crap that people such as yourselves pluck out of yaw arses, safe in the knowledge that you don't need to give a shit, because it's their fault for not having jobs that aren't there and that the govt has absolutely no chance in hell of creating or allowing to be created because it would drive inflation up and make your money worth less than it currently is, potentially putting so called smart business men out of business.

OR (my personal fave)

Stop paying them for being unemployed. Let's get this shit over and done with.

I'd be very surprised if the unemployed didn't have exactly the same chances I had at getting a job. Odd how there are jobs out there for me, but not them eh? How do you explain that Einstein?

How many people went for the job you did? And how many people got that job?

I haven't had to apply for the last five jobs I've had. Because I worked hard to get good at what I do. I earnt $90.00 a week as an apprentice mechanic and went from there. I've never in my 45 years been unemployed, and I don't have any real schooling qualifications.

That old excuse of there being no jobs out there for them doesn't fly with me sorry.

Good on ya, that must be a first in the history of the world. I'm sure there's a few thousand looking for jobs at the moment with a similar story.

Ooooooooook. And the need to have a certain percentage of your population unemployed to control inflation is just an excuse too? Do you think one of the controls for that would be not having enough jobs available?

[Brian d marge]

waaayyyy heeyyyyyyyy


more ......

National has been accused of privatising welfare after announcing plans to contract out employment services.

When will the fun ever stop

Hmmmm, kinda sums up my act too.

When laid off when a freezing works went belly-up in '94 was the first time in my life I was out of a job.

That lasted a total of four working days as I went from one temp job to another for a couple of months...I've worked ever since.

Of course it wasn't all beer'n'skittles, one calender month I got $536 in the hand for that month.

Because it's so blindingly obvious you have the answer to all things political, why don't you run for PM? No doubt you could save NZ in your first term.

I probably could sort it all in one term... but you'd have to elect me and then do as you're told or face a stern public spanking...

I haven't been on the dole for about 32 years. I've been off work for sickness and injury, but always found something to do. With my accident last year meaning I am no longer able to work more than 20hrs a week at a sedentary job, according to the Docs and Specialists, I started my own business while in hospital and have slowly worked away at it while recuperating and living on the pittance I was paid by ACC. ACC finished on 7th Sept. and now my business has to make up the difference. As for a "regular" job, no-one wants to know me, either for full or part-time work in any of the different occupations I've tried. (Everything from management roles to pumping gas to weighing refuse trucks...I wasn't fussy.) My physical limitations would otherwise see me permanently on a sickness benefit were it not for my determination to support myself and allow my wife to give up her full-time job and do something a bit easier on her aging bod... Next year, she will look for another job that pays more but is easier to do, as she has the qualifications to do that.

I am planning that in due course the business will support us both in the lifestyle we have become accustomed to. So I work hard, more than I am supposed to, and have put my all into the business. Qualifications? Nup! Experience? In spades. Was I fit enough I could be employed in a "regular" job but I'm having much more fun doing this!

Oh, Government? Not an issue, doesn't matter to me who's running the country it's never made any difference in my whole working life over the past 40 years...

I turned up in the UK in 81 when there were 3 million unemployed. When I went for a job I got it, sure I had skills and qualifications but its also about a willingness to work and work hard.

JFK ''Its not what your country can do for you, its what you can do for your country'' It seems so many people expect the Government to be their keeper and to dip into a bottomless pit.
