How can one get to work with no jobs? You have the second highest unemployment rate in the nation and your government continues to pass regulations that ensure it won't be coming down anytime soon.

I am self employed, i don't depend on a what some company do for me.  Ask 333333 about that.  that's why he owns his own company.
