I already took a cut in pay receiving Unemployment and have had to cut back my "quality of life" tremendously. One thing that I no longer have is health insurance. Would there be health insurance benefits included in the wage package?

Thank you, Tom. Since the days of the first railroad corporations, they have bought their rights. It's time, long past time, corporations rights were revoked! Wouldn't it be nice for a private citizen to have their entire personal tax burden be $10! I'll take that deal.

Since their inception, corporations have lobbied the government (read "bought") into rellegating the private citizen to the level of the slave. Corporations don't pay taxes the same way private citizens do. Why is that? Because corporations lobby (read "buy") the government representatives of the private citizens to change the laws of the land to the complete advantage of the corporations. Our own representatives have betrayed us to death.

I understand steal may not seem all that green but it was the first anything to be recycled in  the early 1900s. Every year millions of tons of steal are recycled and reused.

Personally, I have a concept for a passive AC system for homes and smaller commercial buildings that does not use electriciity (how much power would that save?). Unfortunately, I am unemployed and have little development funds.
