The story of American jobs and labor is deeply intertwined with predatory Federal, state and local taxation and regulation....

South Koreans sleep soundly on their border with NORKS because of American Taxpayer dollars and the American GI.

Why can’t Texans, New Mexicans, Arizonans and Californians?....BECAUSE

Illegal immigration is THE KEY to the perpetuation of the status quo in DC......

Predatory tax and regulatory policies-actions that basically serve to perpetuate and grow governments-leave what business is left in the country seeking disposable labor.

Illegal Labor is the Feds out for preserving the status quo regarding Taxes and Regulation...and is the ultimate litmus test as to the candidates in question commitment to meaningful regulatory and tax reform. If they are wishy-washy on the subject...they have no real intent to disturb the DC status quo...no matter how big their cowboy hat and six-gun.

Transportation is just one example. A great many businesses and independent contractors use cars, for example, and tariffs on imports will raise the cost of them doing business.

Tariffs raise prices, that’s their fundamental purpose: to make imports cost more so domestic providers can charge a higher price and remain competitive.

Tariffs raise the cost of doing business, raise the cost for consumers, i.e. workers, requiring higher pay.

I don’t think you can create tariffs that have substantial result without the unintended substantial consequences for your producers and workers.

I’m sure your grandson is learning valuable lessons..but at the same time I think insurance companies have no business in regards to peoples’ credit. You either pay for the premium, or you don’t. If you don’t pay, you lose your coverage when the time expires.

Maybe someone in the insurance business can clue me in on that one?

Right or wrong, I believe their reasoning is, that if you are careless with your finances and disregard obligations, you may be the same way with driving your car.

That's what driving records are for.

I could see it with a job. Especially, if it were a job managing money or a business.
