"...because their cheap wages eventually force them into assistance programs."

"What a crock of crap."

Crap? Do you have anything substantiating your claim?

Ya...my own experience...None of the guys I hired ever sucked off the govmint tit...and they work circles around the high school and college kids who go running to mommy when there first blister busts... As to "Cheap" labor...there is a bit of market fundamental you are ignoring...

Labor is never 'cheap' nor is it 'expensive'...it just is. If person A will do the job that person B is doing for a buck less an hour...how in the world does that equate to being 'cheap'?

Less expensive yes...but not cheap.

I suppose when you have a choice to buy an item on sale from store B or pay full price for the same item at store A, you go to store A and pay full price?

Simple market forces at work. Just like the American consumers that are faced with a choice when selecting a contractor to put in a new swimming pool. They will take the lower price 9 times out 10.

Don't blame me buddy...blame yourself and your neighbor.Please drop me a line when you run out and hire a Union Laborer for 40 bucks a smack to dig out your juniper bushes.

And like I said before, I got out, because the present situation sucks, and I am not interested in breaking the law, and less interested in getting busted.
