Job Ads, Unemployed NOT Eligible - REALLY

If it wasn't so UN-funny, this could be funny. But as has been the "norm" lately in America, whatever can be done to keep people down, will be done.
 New Jersey became the first state to ban the placing of a job ad which precludes the unemployed from applying.  Yeah, i know, that sounds like a stupid, unnecessary law, doesn't it.  Yes, to all normal people it does, you would think, what the heck are job ads for if not to assist the unemployed, right. Of course. But not here, NOT now in America. The "powers" that be,, those corporate executive's getting annual  multimillion dollar compensation packages, have decided to place ads that basically say the unemployed can not apply.
Now in fairness, i DO see their point. That being that despite all companies tightening their belts through layoffs, the feelings of corporate big shots is that for whatever the reason given,  the fact is that the people laid off, were laid off for other, underlying reasons and that the failing economy was just a good excuse to get rid of dead weight.
I agree with this logic, TO A POINT. But as cynical as i am,  i would hope that this constitutes a small percent of the unemployed, and that the majority are rather useful prospective employees.  I know this whole story sounds like something my cynical conspiracy theorist mind would make up. Nut i assure you it is not. Even I could not have invented something so convoluted.   This is a fact, it is real, it is happening.  read the whole story here  and or google some related terms yourself.

G.E. pays no tax & Gets 3.2B handout

General Electric made $5.1billion in profit last year and yet paid no tax at all last year and even managed to get a $3.2billion 'rebate' from the government.


YES, i HATE the Obama Health Care plan, but just getting this ONE lousy company to pay its fair share of taxes would go a long way to offsetting some of the health care cost, or if we can repeal his healthcare, it would go a long way toward funding or paying down something else.  And if there is one, there is more.
As with many other things, isn't it finally time we complained about the real problems? 
The root causes of some of our deficit?
Granted unnecessary wars,  handouts to lazy people, undeserving people & conniving people  contribute a lot to the mess, and we need to acknowledge them all, but corporations that make billions in PROFITS and pay no taxes. need to be pay their share. As does the medical industry, which overcharges for services rendered and in too many cases charges for services NOT rendered (medicare fraud).

 Yes. i know the "caveat" in this, the major corporations will take their headquarters overseas, since the U.S. is already the highest in corporate taxes. But the point is, if we can get ALL to pay their fair share, then we can lower corporate tax rates.
   And if they do try to "extort us by threatening to leave the country, then we treat them as we do all other "terrorists" and freeze all their assets.  And make no mistake, threatening the government is is a form of terrorism.  ..
