Plan to rescue the economy
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2009 3:06 pm
Last night I went to my favorite local watering hole for card night. Got there a little early, so I bellied up to the bar with a cold one and listened to the conversation of the group of patrons already engaged. One of them claimed to have a 100% failsafe guaranteed to work solution to fixing our economy, or at least getting people back to work.
He offered up that there be a law outlawing stoves and ovens in single family homes. You could have a microwave, provided you pay a $500/yr user fee. Furthermore, all grocery store and market over the counter sales will be taxed at 50%.
There will be a need for a diner on almost every street corner, and a whole slew of new service industry workers.
Of course, he thinks this is a great idea since he owns the place in town that serves food
