Regarding the tax. a 14-17 year old has to have an income that it pretty high to be affected by the new law. The sting is that, as usual, it is night high enough, and as family incomes rise, it will stay the same. Pretty soon the shelter for college will be riddled for people in the middle of the middle class.
What is wrong with his article? Specifically.
But the political class is an elected group. It contains both Shiela Jackson Lee and George W Bush. I can't see how that's a "class." You can define subcultures, perhaps. Ivy leaguers. Lawyers. Blue bloods. Lots of ways to categorize. But classes? I don't think so. People move up and down throughout the income strata.
No chip on my shoulder about money. My investments earned 38% last year. Thanks for your concern though. My point is this: Just because you discount the "middle classes" as a fallacy does not mean that others do. Get over it.
Lets really unstablize Mexico so the revived communists of South American can add one more nation to their list of USA's enemies. Nothing our enemies would like better than to have a fellow enemy nation share a 2000 mile border with us.
When 12 million people who are supporting 24 million Mexicans lose their jobs and are forced home what do you suppose they will do? That would mean 36 million our of 107 million mexicans would be starving. The most likely thing they would do is over throw the government of Mexico. And the new Mexican government will have just one choice to survive as a goverment.
That is they would make a deal with our enemies in exchange for economic aid. What do you suppose our enemies would want? How about unlimited insurgent access to that 2000 mile long border. Thirty six million starving people would not turn down food to save our but from insurgent attacks.
Our enemy list would include the militant Muslims, the resurgent Russians, as well as Castro and Chavez. Just how much mischief do you think they could do with that border.
To prevent them from sending thousands of insurgents accross our border we would have to bring the troops home from the middle east. I would have to the worlds longest battle line with orders to shoot on radar pickup.
With us out of the middle east what do the Militant Muslims do? They would use just take over the majority of the worlds oil supply. They would tell us if we want oil we will have to pay at least 700 dollars a barrel. Or perhaps just refuse to sell us oil at any price.
As our unemployment reached 50 percent, and our economy melted down to nothing, those Muslims might manage to get a few hundred insurgents accross our border. Even a 20 percent success rate would be enough for them. As unemployed Americans start dying at an Iraqi rate, do you suppose you would look yourself in the eye and say... "DAMN I AM GLAD WE GOT RID OF THOSE MEXICANS."
The problem with people like Dobbs is they never consider the consequences of what they propose to do.
Dobbs has never once considered what would happen to the Mexicans who were departed. And what their governemnt would do in response to their removal from the USA and its resulant starvation and poverty.
How many US citizens are you willing to see die, in order to deport 10 million Mexicans? That is the question.
If that answer is none then they stay. If the answer is only a few hundred thousand.. then they go.
The real question to separate teh hypocrits from the true beleivers is those who would be willing to give their own life in order to depor the 10 or 12 million Mexicans.
Really! We don't have classes, eh? That's why three generations of the Kennedy family with mediocre academic bankgrounds have gone to Harvard before becoming adult idle rich and politicians and three generations of the Black dynasty have worked at various professions for their entire lives.
Just keep telling yourself we're all the same, and that what is good for the inhereted wealth super rich is good for the guy making 100K a year. That's what we are intended to believe by politicians. That's why Ms. Kerry paid taxes at 1/3 the rate that I do, as a normal working stiff.
"fat pig howling in attempt to raise his scum bottom ratings"
Don't talk about the president that way.
And I presume these terms (middle class/poor) relate to America only, right? In other words, what's poor here isn't necessarily the same as what's poor in, say, Honduras? Thus, in America, one can have a residence, a car, a job, food on the table, and enough disposable income for cable tv, movies, fast food and even cruises to the Bahamas and still be considered "poor", while in Honduras that might make you king. It's relative to America's "standard of living", wouldn't you say?
What it asserts in the title...specifically.
Thanks,
In Hoc

Neither do you.
Let's give 12 million...or 22 million illegals (depending on who's number you decide to use) a "pathway to citizenship"...so they can each petition 16 family members to come in too.
Do we have enough lettuce to pick to support 12,000,000 x 16?
Do the math.
You think they'll vote Republican? I thought not.
Build a wall, let the Mexicans deal with the crappy government they've elected. And while you're at it, stay the hell out of my wallet.
lol. I never said we're all the same. I think that's called a straw man. I said we don't have classes. The Blacks are free to obtain wealth and pass it on to their families, and make social connections and use them to their advantage. It's a free country.
Group think. Remember we are not individuals. We must be, think, act, everything as THE GROUP, A GROUP, ANY GROUP, just as long as WE DO IT AS A GROUP. No individuals. Not in SOCIALIST AMERIKA!!!
"It's relative to America's "standard of living", wouldn't you say?"
Absolutely
it is not constant.. Just like time.....it is relevant to where you are.
Paging Bill Clinton...
Sure we do. We have the ruling class and we have the subjects
It would be nice if at least a few of you folks hopping on the thread to make comments like this one would explain what it is that is in the article that you disagree with. Dobbs nails it on the immigration issue.
Hahahaha!
Lou is one of the few people with any balls in the media who will dare to tell the truth about illegal immigration.
Just keep repeating.."CNN is not my friend. CNN is not my friend." Click your heals twice and it may come to you.
