Get a job says the government to the unemployment,, but the treasury economist says to the prime minister,, but unemployment keeps inflation in check. If the unemployed all got jobs, the inflation rates would go up,, banking mortgage and lending interest rates go up to stop inflation and slowdown the economy GDP. You see the unemployed control the cost of living and wage inflation, mortgage interest rates. GOD BLESS THE UNEMPLOYED. Without them your mortgage payments would increase and cost of living would be dearer, however this social equation ensures economical central control and standard of living makes sure you are always breaking even, i.e no growth prosperity for the countries individual over the long-term.
The unemployed have a job to keep the country economically balanced. 4% Unemployed is a start-up investment confident economy, 6% unemployed is a controlled economy. The masters Interest capital and the slaves.
There was talk after W2 about a negative tax band,, no welfare state, this means that if a person is not working they get a wage via a negative tax band, no welfare state just a working wage prop up and the government gives them a job, so that people just jump between private and public work as economical necessary. I think this is better than the pretend scarity and capital profit(gap of inequality) system. Until a country adopts this system, it is master and slave model, be it under a guise of capitalism, socialism or any hierarchy playing field model.
