Failing to africa and coming every african flight. Dragging them across the atlantic to work in the battlefields. In particular and of course in the caribbean in the middle at the 18th century when the thought was more valuable. Of course, the story shifted. The hope in conjunction with the caribbean because the africans outnumber the europeans at a rate 10 to one or 22 when the caribbeans create fertile grounds for the rise of slave revolts, which is not only jeopardizing the investments, but a lot of slave owners and their families. This of course released a retrenchment on the mainland, where the ratio is a much more favorable to slavery but that does not necessarily save because in 1739 in seven to 12 you have the results of the famed manhattan.

At least when it comes, as robert was saying, to some of the programs that work. I that work. I think this is a positive thing. The child tax cut a, the earned income tax credit. In part because we recognize that it is bringing a political view and in part because it is bring confidence to americans to consider work and people who are [inaudible] these programs have to work to be nonporous seems fair that others should have to work as well. That is a general mindset. So, that is why at the end of the day i say if we are going to solve some of these problems, and i agree with charles that there are a lot of guys ought to be working who are not. We are to guarantee them a job. In fact. In fact, during the recession, during the recovery act we had a program, subsidized job program, we subsidize wages to the tune of 80 or 90 of the ef program, we subsidize

I think maybe it is important to clarify the first point. I do not see any occupation. To speak about occupation, and does not understand the history of this region and the facts.

We proved our real desire to achieve peace, and to speak about occupation, it is really prejudiced
