The American working poor are vastly hurt by this. Not only do illegals suppress his legal wages, he has to pay in taxes for the extra welfare, crime, decreased property. So, the person that hires labor gets a two fer, depressed labor bids by Americans, totally with out labor rights illegals bidding at low costs, and with the costs, crime and such carried by others.
>>If one the other hand, we look at which party wants to cut taxes on captitals gains, which party wants to lower taxes on the top income bracket, etc etc, that would provide a much better clue.<<
OTOH there is some point at which taxes on the wealthy are not good for anyone. Maybe there are more wealthy republicans than dems, but you have not made any convincing arguments to that effect.
There are certainly politicians in both parties who act like aristocrats, don’t care what their constituents think or want.
In the Democrat's propaganda world, yes. In the real world, the Republicans are the party of the middle class, and the Democrats are the party of the rich, posturing as the party of the poor. This can be seen not only in the tendency of the Democrats to be supported by a relatively few, relatively large donations as compared to the Republicans, but by the red-blue map broken down by counties - which reveals that the Democrats do best in the inner cities and also in the toney suburbs, while Republicans do best in suburban and rural districts.Democratic politics are the conspicuous consumption of the rich; the middle class can't afford them.
She will have to consult with her focus group first.
Your constant harping on this hillbilly stereotype of "Appalachia" is beginning to mark you as some sort of elitist, in your own mind at least.
That’s what I get for not hitting “preview.”
Arrocentricity! Which means I and my kind know better than the common people.
Why is there so much class envy, pessimissim, and talk of exploitation in these types of threads from conservatives, anyhow? What would Ronald Reagan think of us if he were still here with us?
I agree with you. I bridle every time I hear a politician, or anyone else for that matter, refer to our Republic as a democracy.
All the anti-elitist voters come from the Conservative ranks to split the Republican vote. Ross Perot and Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party are good examples.
Embrace cheap labor at your own peril Republicans.
The return of Spiro Agnew’s Silent Majority ...
“Michigan and New Mexico are two of them. That really needs to be fixed too.”
But the Democrats need illegals to be registered voters through “Motor Voter”, so Granholm and Richardson are perfectly happy to have illegals driving and voting in their states. Since the politicians can’t be trusted, we really need to have a way to verify citizenship before voting in this country.
Let me fix this:
What if it’s some guy with a grade 3 education who owns a landscaping business criminal enterprise in Appalachia that’s not doing particularly well?
In America, mostly wealth. Americans don’t care much about pedigree.
Derb... more great stuff from the Derb who BTW is an immigrant from UK and has a Chinese wife and children with her. So how can the Mexis complain?
The amnesty traitors will be back with a vengeance when the coast is clear, after the election.
Hillary’s stance is well known and on the record. She voted for comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 and 2007. And at tonight’s debate, she will again advocate comprehensive immigration reform [read amnesty.]
A timely development, since his "Elite Corps of Impudent Snobs" are making their move for total control...
