Yep. My first job was 55 hours a week weeding a vineyard when I was 14. I spent the summer in the 100 degree heat outworking the Mexican labor crew in the field next door. American worker can and will do this work - if we end welfare.

I had friends in college in the mid-1980's who earned their tuition doing bent-back strawberry picking in the summertime; every last one of them as white as William Wallace's Hibernian arse.

Still, there's a buncha Ivory Tower types around here keep insisting such things don't happen, and try to call "BS" on anyone who says otherwise. Well, I know the real truth and it has nothing whatsoever to do with any mythological "job Americans won't do".
