Cash rich but personality poor Mitt Romney is probably going to have to fire someone today which will probably give him a boner or something. It seems that when he filed his personal financial statement his “people” forgot to include information about a few silly little Christmas Club accounts he had stashed away in tropical offshore havens and a socialist European hellhole.

I’m just spit-balling here but, according to an old IRS schedule I found under my desk along with some fancy guesstimating taking into account the longitude and latitude of Ft. Knox times The Number of The Beast divided by the current price of the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity® at IHOP, Warren Buffet’s secretary must make like a hundred bajillion dollars and change per year.

Mitt Romney, who hasn’t had a job in years because America won’t hire him, doesn’t want to subject himself to a credit check as a condition of maybe finally landing a job.

Richard Epstein explains why people shouldn’t get minimum wage, unemployment insurance and other worker protections and parts of the safety net. Those benefits just make the serfs unwilling to work harder for less.

This will be the model: one employee sprinting through the parking lot bringing toys & holiday cheer to “competitive shoppers.”

I particularly enjoyed Laffer’s contention that businesses will no longer hire lawyers & lobbyists, which would probably be true for about seven hours before they would start complaining that 9% is onerous and socialist and with those dollars they could be creating even more jobs!
