Quarrantee starting salary of $1million/year. (Euro Dollar or Chinese Yuan, mind you). Here is the catch: 'must conform to new Equal opportunity standard, team must have equal 'share' of races, height, weight and ability to perform. Each team must increase the times the number of players, so players won't be overworked. o No CG tax if you held stock for more than 2 years(?, comparable to the house-thing) o day trading tax: 30% if < 1 minutes. 20% < 1 hours, 10% < 1/2 day, 0% > 1day && < 2days. This will increase jobs, tax revenue. o CEOs, CFOs, COOs are tax exempt and blank check provided so they don't have to 'cook the book'. Sorry if the brush is too big. o Immediately, all prices go up 10% daily. This will increase demand to help the economy. The more your spend now, the more you save in the future. (10% a day, beat that). ... Craig, please help...
