Too bad.

You make the worst argument that all fake conservative,pro-illegal people make;

“I’m okay breaking the law as long as it suits me economically.”

If upholding the rule of law means that in our economy an onion costs 10 dollars—— then that is what an onion costs. It is called the free market. Then- guess what!? Some enterprising person will come along and see a great opportunity to make money by creating something that makes picking onions more tolerable and efficient (a machine, a process, etc) and then he’ll get them cheaper and sell them cheaper and be the onion king. That’s how the free market works and that is how America made our money and greatness. No exceptions here.

Your argument is no different than any urban drug dealers. Breaking the law to line your pockets because following the law to make money is “too hard” or “not enough.”

Admit the selfishness and ridiculousness of your stance and stop pretending in any way to be conservative.

Well, I’m not going to pretend to be stupid, if that’s what you mean. But conservative? Oh, yeah. I’m as conservative as they come. Pardon me if I do my own research on the issues, too, to find out the reasoning. Perspective changes when you do that.
