Comment from article:
Seeing what was coming, my grandfather fled Poland in the 1930’s and came to America. As I read this article, I am weeping as I think of what those who could not flee went thru. ‘Tragic’ doesn’t cover it. But there’s perhaps an even more important reminder here. In 1917, the Communists came to power in Russia. Their appeal to the people was based on 1) Resentment of the rich 2) Promises to provide for the needs of the masses, and 3) Elimination of the influence of God/Christianity in society. Sound familiar? It is horrifying to me that Socialism has been embraced by so many in this country. Bernie was almost the Democratic nominee for President, twice. His appeal to the people is IDENTICAL to the 3 positions noted above. Please wake up, America. Socialism always results in oppression, suppression of free thought, poverty, murder, and loss of freedom. All in exchange for empty promises. NOT a good deal!”
Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ): Big Tech Getting 15 Percent Discount to Hire Foreign Workers over Americans
*****
Excerpt:
...“I’m one of the big people talking about OPT, which is the Optional Practical Training program, that Congress never authorized,” Gosar said in reference to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) running the program on its own accord instead of enacting the program through Congress.
“This is an unkept intrusion of foreign workers that gives benefits to people like big tech to bring in folks from China, and from Pakistan, and from India, and one of the problems that exists here is that you get a 15.5 percent discount to hire them over American citizens,” Gosar said. “That 15.5 percent discount is the FICA [Federal Insurance Contribution Act] withholding tax that puts money into Social Security and Medicare.”
It begins with appeal to hedonism (sex) which is tied to #3 on your list.
