My experience about jobs that americans won't work is utter BULLSHIT.
I Had a job at McDonalds of all places. I HAD to leave because I got muscled out by the latin contingent. This woman accused me of hurting her arm (at the same time Michael Jackson's Arrest was being broadcast and how he was saying the police hurt his arm) but she had no proof, one witness was standing right in front of us when I "pulled her arm back" from putting salt on french fries, and since she was undocumented no charges were filed. Still I got threatened by her boyfriend who said he was going to kick my ass.
The manager even laughed it off but I didn't feel safe around them after that. All because I ran circles around all of them.
So it pisses me off that these fucking asshole say American's don't want to work the jobs. We DO want to work the jobs, it's just and argument perpetuated by the companies that don't want to PAY for the documented workers.
A big part of it is that some jobs are such low pay, that if you can get welfare, (or unemployment), you're getting more money than these guys will pay for picking fruit or washing dishes.
you know what's funny about Marilyn Musgrave? she tried the same shit in the state legislature before she was elected to congress...in fact, she tried it to get re-elected in one district, then "mysteriously" switched districts when her polls weren't favorable (she carpetbagged...and then had the audacity to comment negatively on Hillary Clinton doing the same thing...). and she decided to run for congress when her fellow reps in the state house were telling her to cool the gay stuff.
She's just a bitch, riding some hot political issue to prominence. most everyone in colorado is kinda embarrassed of her...well, maybe not the Dobson-ites in Colorado Springs...
That's a good idea. That would let the private sector take a larger role in trying to battle poverty. If these jobs could be subsidized, and people could actually get a living wage out of the combination, that would let some people climb out of the welfare state.
Still, for those people who can work, you have to have enough penalties that will keep them from trying to take a free ride as it is now. The subsidy system shouldn't let people sit when they could be working. Good thinking.
I agree totally. I'm fiscally conservative as well, and more moderate, even liberal socially. The problem is, this administration is only conservative socially, and sometimes they are not even that. Pandering to the Religious Right doesn't make you truly conservative (at least in the old sense).
