If we get rid of all the poor mexicans then there will be no poor people?

Well Savage, let me introduce you to the Bell Curve. Distribution always follow the bell curve.

Income distribution follows the Bell Curve. On the left shoulder of the curve are the poor people and on the right shoulder are the rich people.

If you were to deport all those poor mexicans on the left shoulder, the curve will quickly shift to the right, resulting in a wholenew set of poor people.

Don't you remember that Economics 101?

"If we get rid of all the poor mexicans then there will be no poor people? "

Now, Ben,you know I never said that. YOU DID. Interesting little trick, though, to the one lurker who might be dumb enough to think I did.


Interested in talking facts? No, I thought not.

The only economics you understand is the one that profits you and costs the rest of us.
Professor Walter Williams explains: "Moral hazard arises when people behave in ways to satisfy themselves, but because they don't bear the full cost, their behavior comes at the detriment of others. Moral hazard is a pervasive problem, and it's only relatively recently that economic and legal scholars have begun to pay attention to it."

I won't bother to read any reply from you to me, because it will just be filled with more propaganda. You will only get more information and facts from me, I refuse to engage someone who twists words and meanings. Adios!!
