Just the begining. And it's not just Japan.

The Japanese have been trying to shake their recession for 15 years. All they have to show from their eight stimulus packages is massive debt and a bunch of bridges to no where.
Raising taxes to pay for this wasteful spending only serves to prolong the recession.

Go out and spend, as you never know if you will be alive tomorrow.

investors are always after profits, they dont care and dont want to care what happens to ther workers of companies they so unemotionally acquire and discard like lottery tickets. their whole existence revolves around making profit. Ironically they are constantly on the lookout on ways to cheat governments out of taxes, (by transferring money offshore, headquartering their businesses in tax free countries and so on) and when things go wrong they want to blame governments for not doing enough.

cnc, i hate to ask the obvious, but if it weren't for "profit" why would anyone risk capital?
jobs are created by investors who risk their money to make money. profit is not a dirty word.
companies that profit at the expense of their employees is a different matter entirely. how a company treats it's employees usually reflects their ability to put out a quality product or service and be profitable enough to stay in business.
as far as taxes are concerned, you may be right, but don't forget there are a tax cheats in every walk of life, not even the Obama cabinet is immune.
