Financial Freedom is a Cornerstone to all other Freedoms

Others say "it’s the economy stupid"

Many citizens have been "Free Traded" out of a job, and the American public has been hoodwinked into swallowing "Free Trade" hook line and sinker.

The "Cash Cow" of tax revenue is citizens working for business and making an ever higher Standard of Living.

Ask yourself which party is the friend of working citizens.

I give up I don't know.

Ask the candidates and ask them if they support foreign workers taking your job and the economic rug being pulled from out from under your feet.

Jobless recoveries are amazing economic magic.

There are many Scams, Schemes and Scoundrels out there. Choose wisely and vote for your favorite.

Is your state and county doing above average?

Sincrely,

Danny G. Goe

"Ask the candidates and ask them if they support foreign workers taking your job and the economic rug being pulled from out from under your feet."

Foreign workers do not "take you job" so much as workers expect too much pay for their performance. If I own a manufacturing business, then I want workers who show up on time, work diligently, do their job correctly and pay attention to detail. Whomever meets those criteria and works at the lowest wage will get the job. If resident/visa holder Jose and citizen Bob both fit that criteria, but Jose works for half the pay, then why would I hire Bob? Likewise, if I can set up a manufacturing plant in India for less money than I could here and get the same quality product, then why would I remain here?

Some people thrive on competition, because it makes them better. Some people despise it, because it forces them to improve, rather than sit on their duff and watch tv.

>>then why would I hire Bob? <<

National pride would be one reason. Understanding that Bob's allegiance is to the United States of America and only to the United States of America not Mexico, Brazil, Peru or one other Hispanic countries.

If you can still earn a good living and at the same time help your brother citizens, remember what country you were born in.

"Foreign workers do not "take you job" so much as workers expect too much pay for their performance."

That's being much too simplistic.

Admittedly, the unions in this country have driven up salaries in some occupations to an unacceptable level, but it's unfair to lump all American workers into that "sitting on their duff" group.

Do you think you could live on two dollars a day?
Sure, things would adjust over a period of time, and the price of a gallon of milk would be a quarter.
But in the meantime, you'd get mighty hungry.

It's unfair to expect American workers to compete with immigrants, legal or illegal, who came from a Third World country where a bowl of beans was a luxury.
Our standard of living requires more money to live.

I do not use citizenship as the measure of allegiance to our nation. Who has more allegiance to the USA - the guy who was born here and is therefore a citizen or the guy who had to jump through hoops to get here and continue to jump through more hoops to gain his citizenship?

I had 3 soldiers in my platoon during Operation Iraqi Freedom who were not citizens of this country. I would wager that they are greater patriots than 90 percent of the people who were born here.

[B4Ranch]

Of course. Anyone who *earned* their citizenship will be more patriotic than someone who was given theirs.
