NEWTOWN, Pa. — A suburban Philadelphia philanthropist who believes charity is a powerful incentive thinks he can help get Americans back to work one donation at a time.
Gene Epstein, 71, is promoting a $250,000 effort called Hire Just One, with plans to make $1,000 donations to charity in the name of businesses that hire an unemployed person and keep the worker on the payroll for at least six months.
Epstein, who amassed a personal fortune through car sales and real estate investments, has set aside his money for the first 250 hires — and thinks thousands more jobs could be created if others took on his idea, too.

Both the gov. (dems and reps) and this guy don't seem to understand that people aren't hiring for primarily 1 reason: low demand = low sales = NO NEED TO HIRE.
But the politicians seem to love this idea that tax incentives will trump supply and demand
He's had some companies take him up on it. More power to him.
he's assuming the jobless folks are looking for jobs in the first place. why work when you can live off of the man?
3:21, does the 6+ applicants for every 1 job available statistic even register with you. You guys' anti-everything hysteria would be funny if there weren't so many of you dummies out there.
