What are any new jobs paying? I do be loving me some smoke & mirrors & misdirection.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Large businesses need to be paid by government somehow to hire.

Tax rates that adjust to non contract permanent employees? More employees hired in a year means a big tax break that year? Incentivize hiring and in-sourcing with progressively lower tax rates.

When taxes are higher it costs less to hire, because payroll is a before tax expense.

But when corporations have all kinds of tricks to lower their taxes (ostensibly helping them to compete better internationally) then labor is perceived to take a bigger bite out of profits.

I'm doing all I can to help.

I use self-checkout at the grocery store, but pay the same prices, so as to provide free labor for the supermarket chains. And I help the Spanish-speaking employees at Quizno's understand which ingredients are on my sub so as to save the franchise training money.

Aren't there other ways we can pitch in to give the owner class free labor?

I'm not so sure about that. I keep seeing reports that businesses are hurtin' for bodies. At this point, they're refusing to train. but the savvy ones are moving forward. At some point they simply won't be able to increase their output/throughput with hiring more bodies (and, in some cases, training).

If we all pitch in and help struggling business owners for free whenever they need help, they'll save a ton of money. When they save enough, they'll hire us to do the work we are doing for free.

should they raise their offered wage they'd be flooded with qualified applicants.

yeah, the only thing DC can agree on leading to 2016 is cut taxes to increase the national debt.
