the we dont need another stinking paris hilton taxes: the rockefellers and morgans are still going strong even after surviving decades of stiff inheritance taxation. elimination of the tax would only amount to a paris hilton entitlement and acceleration of corporate consolidation and control of america. tort reform: just like inflation, tort reform is a con. medical expenses, insurance costs going up because of "frivolous" lawsuits? no, it's because those lawsuits that are justified and right don't and can't go far enough: merck killing people with unsafe drugs is only fined a few bucks. they immediately turn those costs over on future business. rather than… merck getting sued into non-operation and the persons responsible being barred from working in the industry, thereby allowing competition from new and small independants. illegal immigration: with a wave of the illegal immigration flag, nationalism and racism are immediately stirred, overwhelming the insect-like attention spans of the american people. immigrant employees, legal or illegal are only a problem now because of all the years of union busting and anti-labor policies.
I'm sure a lot of these folks here that are so anti-immigrants have native American blood oozingdoing their arms and legs 🙂
I don't understand what the f*ck is the big deal with this. I see these illegals hardworking and willing to do what a lot of american citizens who would rather take a welfare handout before considering doing what these folks do. The only gripe i have is that illegals don't pay taxes and they get the benefits of the state..But I would consider this a failed U.S. policy that apparently no one wants to address.
At the same time, they are contribute to this economy as spenders and earners. I hardly consider these folks "stealing our jobs", because I doubt most americans would want to work at these jobs to begin with. Even so consider if you couldn't find cheap labor. Those business (farms/etc) would dry up and move overseas, and we be importing even a heck of a lot more.
And frankly American labor is ridiculously expensive. $100/hr for a frickin plumber?
