So what? Let them try to hire, then. Virtually everyone who applies is going to be unemployed. Very few people who have a job are going to be out looking for a different one in a job market like this. The business will have to adapt, or they'll never fill the position.
So... I'm confused. Assuming you're actually an interviewer, are you disqualifying them from getting the job because they actually need a job, or are you disqualifying them because they were following the rules?

If it's not the same old goatse non-xxx that I've already seen a million times, sure... not from work, of course. From the privacy of my room, with the door locked.
Friends are interested in each others' personal lives, almost by definition. If you're not, I wouldn't call those your "friends", they're more like coworkers/peers.

And once you've decided that someone is "worth your time", what then?
Anyone who has had an email account for more than six months has already seen hundreds of similar scams
See, that's what's actually quite scary about Gmail. It's so stinking good at detecting spam and phishing that I feel like I'm going to literally begin to lose some of the mental faculties I had developed back in the days of AOL and Hotmail.
I still have a Hotmail account; every once in a while I sign in to it to peruse my inbox and click a few of the spam/scam/phishing sorts of e-mails just to keep in touch with what the sleazebags are up to. And maybe partly for nostalgia's sake too...

A trojan horse is "a bug inserted into a program or system designed to be activated after a certain time or a certain number of operations"
Or even:
"A kind of malicious software that arrives at a personal computer embedded in some other software and then introduces routines that can gather personal information or destroy the operationality of the computer"

Hey look, I just completely ignored your sources like you completely ignored the source that the Wikipedia article cited. This is fun.
That's not called "screwing employees", it's called "being profitable". If you're paying your employees more than they're producing, you won't be able to afford to keep them on payroll for long.
"Laid off" is code for "worth less than he was making". It's also a good indication that you should probably reconsider your "worth".
So? The fact that somebody has $x billion in some financial account means nothing if they'd be taxed 8% if they wanted to use it. In fact it means they have $x billion - 8%.
Taxing purchases of stock would be double-taxation. You'd tax the money going in, and you'd tax it coming back out again, when it was spent. And while I'm sure a lot of socialist commies would love to be able to do that, it ain't gonna happen.
Worst case scenario, the rich guy just dies with a whole lot of money he never got a chance to spend, so the government never got a chance to get its filthy paws on it. Yet. And guess what happens then? Then the government gets to tax the estate. And then whoever inherits it has to pay sales tax if they spend it. Ain't it wonderful? You're taxing the same money like half-a-dozen times!

Would you hire a person who showed up for an interview wearing a bright red cape?
No, actually, I'd disqualify every single applicant who was applying for the job because they didn't already have one.
Yeah, as if any employer would ever consider hiring a person whom they knew to be unemployed. Oh, wait...
Now if they wanted to keep wearing the cape after they got the job, there might be a slight problem.
Only if they're required by law to wear them to qualify to receive their unemployment benefits.
How else would a rocket look like? A cube? A sphere?

It's not the size of your payload, it's how you use it.
Poor people can only afford junk food.
Just like poor people can only afford the $10 boots. It's a deliciously unhealthy self-fulfilling prophecy.
Sin taxes are stupid and you're a stupid person for suggesting one.

I usually place the dollar right in her g-string, which is the best way to see it gets where it's needed.

Um, actually, yes, that is exactly what entrapment is. You're a fucking moron.
If 1=-1 and you add 1 to both sides you get 2=0
Ok, now divide both sides of it by 2...

Pff, it's the sex de-pant-hers they should be worried about.

All he got out was, "Be safe. Remember, five miles an hour is .." before I interrupted with "a two-hour difference!"
Well... that actually depends on which 5 miles per hour it is.
On a 1,000 mile trip, the 5 miles per hour between 55 mph and 60 mph equals a 1 1/2 hr time savings.
However, on the same trip, the 5 miles per hour between 75 and 80 mph equals only 50 minutes.
