Oracle imports as much cheap labor as a California lettuce consortium.

There are probably 50,000 H-1b's there now, making $30-$50/hr without benefits.

For jobs that would normally cost them twice that if the workers were American.

Good point on Ellison. It’s all about cheap labor to him. He wants to see his name higher on Forbes list of billionaires just to feed his ego. The the way to get higher on the list is cheap labor.

Tech billionaires are the type that now control the Chamber of Commerce. They’re the cheap labor express and they support GOPe boy Rubio.

Rubio is the new Jeb.

ALL of the establishment money will be coming his way.

He should offer Katich the VP slot to drop out and endorse him.

A super PAC supporting Marco Rubio's presidential campaign raised $2.5 million in January, including $1 million from tech billionaire Larry Ellison... the executive chairman of Oracle Corporation, brings his total spending on behalf of Rubio to $4 million, making him among the top donors of the 2016 cycle. Conservative Solutions PAC spent nearly $11 million last month, mostly on ads and direct mail attacking Rubio's rival for the Republican presidential nomination Ted Cruz and his former rival Chris Christie... finished January with $5.6 million in the bank, though it has continued spending heavily since then, dropping $9.6 million on ads opposing Cruz, John Kasich and Jeb Bush...

Like a kangaroo court, the kangaroo media takes out candidates they dislike and elevates their favorites. Fox News is for Kangaroo-B.O. The fight is not over.

As for superPACs, I don’t care. At least there are more voices than just the vile media.

Conservative Solutions PAC supports rubita? I would have to come to the conclusion that the conservative solution they have in mind is a final solution for Conservatives because Conservative and Rubio go together like oil and water, or pigs and muslims.

Elections are for sale.

PAC money trumps what average voters are able to give.

Politicians don’t even think about doing favors for 100,000 people who donate $10 each but a man or organization that donates $1,000,000 or more expects a quid pro quo.

And gets it.
