I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
There are an innumerable jobs in this world and nearly all of them are held by someone of average intelligence.
Saying that these people are incapable of finding work outside of unskilled labor is completely liberal bull****.
As I asked before:
It's very difficult to find work when you're unqualified for anything and unwilling to become qualified.
Your statement sounded like the administrative functions of a business were at the level of the floor sweeper, it was something anybody could do. I completely disagree.
It takes a lot of knowledge, either gained via a degree and then a whole lot of on the job experience, or a whole lot of years just on the job, to administratively run a viable business. Be it large, medium, small company or sole prop.
People are accosted for gardening? Wow - where do you live 'cause I don't want to ever go there, not even to visit.
There are NOT innumerable jobs.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
And you ignore the simple fact that not everybody CAN do what jobs there are, no matter how hard they might try.
Everybody can't do everything.
And just because what they CAN do isn't considered profitable enough doesn't mean they should jus7 starve to death.
Innumerable means exactly what I know it means, which I guess means you have no idea what it means.
What I don't know is what "everybody can't do everything" means. I know I certainly never said anything of the sort although I'm getting the distinct impression that you can't do anything.
Out of curiosity, do you have a career of any kind?
Of course, "governments" in modern democracies operate in the same way as they did in the 17th century, during the English civil war.
As I said before, even if we all had degrees or were skilled there would still be a need for janitors and file clerks.There are an innumerable jobs in this world and nearly all of them are held by someone of average intelligence.

I don't count file clerk or data entry as any kind of skilled or educated labor. I've been all three, including a janitor a very long time ago. The only difference is that today it probably does require typing above 20 WPM (@1 error, or 15 WPM @0), which is all I needed years and years ago. When I recently did 10-key entry on a temp job I did had to qualify fairly high, so I'll give you that one. File clerks at the lowest level need almost no experience or education to speak of. Where those paths lead is a different story. Being a rodman requires nothing but good health and an outdoorsy attitude. Becoming a PLS (land surveyor) takes education, a few years of experience, a head for numbers, and preferably 3-D vision.Your statement sounded like the administrative functions of a business were at the level of the floor sweeper, it was something anybody could do.

I wouldn't call it assault but, yes, I'm sure in most states they would arrest you for it. I think Republicans are more responsible for that one, though, and a few others you're not giving them credit for.Try growing Cannabis sativa in your garden and see how long it is before you are assaulted by agents of the State.
i'm thinking a notch up - office manager, full charge bookkeeper now require at least a BA in business admin or a boatload of experience. A good one usually actually runs thebusiness while the boss gets the credit.I don't count file clerk or data entry as any kind of skilled or educated labor.

BTW - Your sig is from Blue on Black?

Many professions are that way. As I've shown, my own is, as well. PLS is a minimum of an associates with two years in only land surveying (which generally translates into 4 years on the job because half isn't land surveying) or a BS with a year experience in land surveying (2 years in the field) - and that's just to apply to take the test. I would still call a rodman (entry level surveying) a "simple" job - I taught my 12 y/o how to do the "technical" part, what there is of it, in less than an hour. But as I noted earlier, even if the whole office is full of PLS's, someone still has to hold the rod and someone else needs to run the instruments - and that's just the main field work, not the real job of land surveying.i'm thinking a notch up - office manager, full charge bookkeeper now require at least a BA in business admin or a boatload of experience.

Yes, blue on black - a favotite of mine, you enjoy KWS?
And taxes???Which returns us to the point that libertarians oppose the initiation of violence against person and property. So a libertarian would agree with you that those who kill, maim, or steal from others should be stopped and/or punished.
However, libertarians (unlike other political philosophies) hold agents of the state to the same standard. Thus, if an agent of the state were to accost a person for growing a plant, a libertarian would regard that as common assault. Essentially, there is one standard of human behavior, not one for the mundanes and then another for agents of the State.

Not sure to whom you're referring, but I believe you have a mistaken notion of libertarianism. They are the ONLY political philosophy that, across the board, opposes the initiation of interpersonal aggression. So, in fact, they are the exact opposite of your characterization.
I expect my post to be overlooked because facts and truth often are
There are really only 2 solutions at this point:
1) Refuse to pay back the debt.
2) Demand that the debts be forgiven.

This, for example. Do you know what happens if the US loses the ability to borrow?
When it comes to the most basic of transactions, yes, they do. The government utilizes the coercive power of threatened force to ensure compliance, and maintains sovereignty over its' exercise.
But if you don't believe me, please inform your government that you no longer intend to comply with their laws, and then proceed to cease doing so. You may be astonished at the results, as they will not include attempts to pretty-please you or convince you of the efficacy of following the rules; they will instead include physical force or the threat therein (depending on how far you decide to go before you comply).
....
It enforces law with this:
When you pass laws controlling people's actions, you are using violence to ensure that they obey your preferences. That you personally prefer to have others engage in that violence on your behalf does not excuse you from that act.
The police officer's role is to uphold the law, not to break it.
On this, we agree, at least. Well said.
I suspect that regardless of political stripe or religious belief there would be a lot we would agree on.
