I took the juniper to the dump. Yes, I saved money.
You think I was going to hire a contractor and pay $500 to get that juniper removed? It would still be there.
As it was, some money got spread around. Not much, but some. It didn't hurt the ecomony. It didn't hurt anyone. And the juniper got removed.
I planted a very nice fern in its place.
I bet you aren't paying your illegal servants even minimum wage much less wages they can afford to buy health insurance with. Yes you are hurting the taxpayers to think you are entitled to cheap servants to make your beds and pull your weeds but pay them so little that the taxpayers must provide them food stamps and free health care. Slavery and coolie labor is a terrible economic system.
