"Frankly, I'm beaten."

Nah you just bashed up against reality!

Jobs are just an acronym for "Just Over Broke." The American Dream of getting a good job and retiring from it in 40 years died a long time ago.

Do what all those Oriental immigrants do and open your own business.

The possibilites are endless!

In the best of times, 4 out of 5 business starts go broke.
Since I already am broke,but have little to no debt, I'm ahead of eighty percent of business starts.

My grandfather, an immigrant from Manchuria, had a business. My father and he, after a lifetime of having his business nipped and nibbled into nothingness by the government, pushed me into engineering, for the security, a guaranteed lifelong career.

Ha!

As a small business owner, I have big gubmint so far up my a$$ between OSHA, DEP, state sales tax, state income tax, Fed income tax, City personal property taxes (which Im fighting now), unemployment taxes etc, social security that my damned head is spinning. Uncle Sham is a monkey and he's on my backside humpin' away.

....the grass is always greener...

Yep rent an apartment and share it with 11 people. And do janitorial work until you have saved enough that with the help of a government grant you can open your own shop.

What's that? You can't get a goverment grant because you are not an immigrant?

Well then do like I did, get relatives and friends to loan you $500,000 so you can get started. Or do like Donald Trump game...start life with half a billion dollars.

Neither of those worked for you, huh? Well then move to Mexico where you won't be burdened with medical and unemployment insurance. At least you will have a job.

Did you ever happen to notice that Orientaly business owners that come to this country and open small to medium size businesses generally only employee their own family members or other orientals? In California, and other places, this is what is taking place. They take down the old English signs and put up signs in Chinese etc. I could show you entire areas where there are no signs or very few in English, and they operate almost 100 percent for other Asians, by Asians...They are not only opening up businesses, they are opening up entire Asian towns, that generally only cater to other Asians...

Even though many have a good work ethic, I find this offensive that they come into American, and have no intention of assimilating into our country and generally only cater to and do business amongst each other. I can name many *large* areas that have been completely changed and appear Chinese or Asian like, in every aspect, including the Asian gangs, that as recently as two days ago, stood outside of a Chinese cleaners and four Asians opened fire with mulitple high powered weapons, killing one female worker inside the Asian owned cleaners, the victim had just entered the U.S. a week earlier. This was all in *broad day light*, and was even caught on video tape.
