Since when do bush supporters care about unemployment?

What i'm saying is that if a company can't afford to be a good corporate citizen than it shouldn't be in business.

And even there, I'm not advocating the anti-gouging acts during times of emergency be dropped. The free market system needs as few restrictions as possible; that doesn't mean NO restrictions.
It is my opinion that an economy should serve the citizens who use it. If it is possible for someone to work 40+ hours a week and not be able to support themselves, than this economy thing isn't doing what it is supposed to.
