Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

That's what gets me, this guy has such a one-sided opinion that he can't even realize his workers are the ones literally making him his money. No workers, no money coming in.

"They should be grateful to have a job." Yup, and he should be just as grateful anyone is willing to work for him, because without them he goes nowhere.
