Full Employment in America, Page 2
Benjamin Broke
Isn’t a non-punitive, short-term detention the least objectionable option?
The Prisoner Patriot
In the past, when our nation was in crisis, many people sacrificed years of their lives, and a great many made the ultimate sacrifice, for the good of the country. We are now in a crisis unlike any we’ve ever seen before, and a call to sacrifice is exactly what is needed to get out of it. I would gladly give two years of my freedom to help my country, and I’m sure many millions of other Americans would too. We wouldn’t be asking anything of the unemployed that we ourselves wouldn’t be willing to give. I suspect that a large percentage of the jobless would jump at the chance to give their lives meaning and purpose again.
The left has always embraced the fantasy of a world that provides free food, shelter, and healthcare. Prison provides these. Many Americans today live in fear of violence, terrorism and crime. Prison is free of these. Prisoners don’t have to commute to work, pay bills, buy groceries or clothes, or even decide what to wear in the morning. Imagine taking two years away from all the headaches of modern life. Now imagine doing that as a sacrifice for the good of your family, friends, community and country.
Past generations have sacrificed their sons and daughters, all we’re asking of this generation is two years, and two years that would certainly have been miserable anyway. The unemployed do not live well.
Full Employment for the Future
We are living in dark times that will only get darker if we don’t change course. We should thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we live in a democracy. We can choose any course that we want, and the choice is clear. We must let go of visions of our glorious past if we are to have any chance at a glorious future. The laws and regulations that worked in the last century are simply not adequate to deal with our current situation. We are trying to solve twenty-first century problems with eighteenth century ideas, and it’s time for a change.
And what are the other options? Should we continue to muddle along, trying to raise the economy out of the muck little by little? Is there another policy proposal that could actually better our situation?
There is not. Incarcerating the unemployed is admittedly extreme, but so is the situation we find ourselves in. The question is: Are we willing to do what needs to be done to secure our future, or will we remain bogged down in the morality and divisions of the past?
We should all be thankful that we have this opportunity to save the greatest nation the world has ever known.
It’s time to enact comprehensive employment laws for America’s future.

SPACECRAFT
This is not a book -it’s a scam.
It’s the story of Nick, a seventeen year old weed-smoking, acid-eating, suburban nihilist dropout who accidentally stumbles across an idea that is truly revolutionary. In this text you will find arguments against art, money, sobriety, religion, education, and the rule of law.
This is Benjamin Broke’s first novel and it is deeply flawed and wrong on many levels. You should begin downloading it immediately.
INSURGENTS
How far would you go to help a friend in trouble?
Ben Perkins might go so far as to risk his job, but with a friend like David Telano, in the kind of trouble he's in, he'll wind up risking his life. With the encouragement of his girlfriend Jessie, a 24 hour a day weed smoker, Ben is soon mixed up in a war that's going on just beneath the surface of his quiet Ohio town. On one side is a lesbian newspaper editor, radicalized by the murder of her girlfriend, and on the other is a wealthy businessman running a drug-smuggling operation from a private airfield. In between them is Ben, who starts out trying to help a friend but ends up just trying to stay out of jail and continue breathing.
