Re: The return of the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade!
The CCC was likened to work camps by the Republicans. The workers got $20/week, 3/4 of that going home to help their families. The GOP said it was communism. The families that suddenly had some cash coming in thought differently. The Great Depression was a great chance for business men to step in and handle the situation. Unfortunately, they didn't have much interest in that.

Re-instate the workhouse for the feckless poor. I'm sure Apple would be in there in a flash, having 'em assemble iPhones.

Huxley Industries operates a string of workhouses across Europe and N.America - bed, board and half a rotten cabbage supplied every day and all you need to do is process spent nuclear fuel rods. I'll put you down for a place.
I love capitalism!

IT's every mans inalienable right to exploit the less fortunate, given half a chance.

I guess animals are honestly red in tooth and claw, they don't try to justify their actions with libertarian flim-flam.
