Who ever said anything about the government giving everyone a job? ;-) Gimme a break. I was just suggesting that the government provide jobs for the unemployed people who want work, not for everyone.

This would take pressure off the most disadvantaged and poverty-stricken sectors in society, and it could be combined with job training for the unemployed and underemployed. When people learn useuful job skills it empowers them and its strengthens the whole society. That's what I'm recommending.

Now, to call that "tyrrany" is just absurd. I'll tell you what tyrrany is. Tyrrany is rule by a dictator...or by a criminally selfish elite...people who are above the law and who seek and practice absolute power in a totally immoral and ruthless fashion, and who cannot be removed from office except by violent revolution. That's tyrrany. It can occur in concert with either capitalism or socialism...or a combination of the two.

You can also have a temporary tyrrany in an elected and theoretically democratic system. All it takes to do that is to have people similarly deficient in good character to those I described above...people who milk the system for all it is worth as long as they're in office, and who never get charged with the great crimes they have committed. As, for example...the present US executive branch under George W. Bush...a temporary tyrrany.

And soon to be replaced by another? Well, let's hope not.
