✆ “To deal with the problem of homeless in Santa Monica, the main thing to do is to get the economy going. Start by voting out Bush, send him back to Texas, and then we get more jobs to this country by taxing inputs and putting a high tax on these people who outsource jobs. Make them want to have Americans working. Then anybody that wants a job will be able to get one. But the ones that don’t, we can toss them in jail with a clear conscience because they’re not fit to be in society anyway.”
