X Spike 489 Report post Posted July 18, 2009 no, it wouldn't be topical. The plan would be by-the-books effects topical and probably also violate "living in poverty" because not all people who worked at these companies would necessarily be poor. If you mandated they be poor, you would be extra-topical because the plank bringing back the companies would be non-topical independently, and everyone and their mother will kick your ass on the definition of social services because it's too broad, underlimits the topic, destroys topical brightline, etc... The plan would also have a huge backlash against businesses because most of them would just move their HQ out of the US and sell to us from another country. A lot of companies are doing so already. All the plan would do is scare away corporations, thus collapsing the economy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
