"Jobs Americans won't do" How long will that slur keep bouncing around?It's true, if you add the words, "at the same price".
If you want $25 an hr. lawn care, let me know how many people you will hire at that price. How about the $4.00 cup of coffee in the train terminal? How many cups of that are you buying?

In the olden days, we teens used to mow our neighbors' lawns (if the Dads didn't do it themselves), flip the burgers at Happy Hound, fill-up the gas at Union 76, and perform other jobs that "Americans won't do".
Not only did we perform the same services at comparable prices, but we didn't load the system with under-the-water-line social costs that threaten to bankrupt certain border states.

Many of us are not too lazy to cut our own grass, thank you.
