If you want $25 an hr. lawn care, let me know how many people you will hire at that price. How about the $4.00 cup of coffee in the train terminal? How many cups of that are you buying?

In the olden days, we teens used to mow our neighbors' lawns (if the Dads didn't do it themselves), flip the burgers at Happy Hound, fill-up the gas at Union 76, and perform other jobs that "Americans won't do".

Not only did we perform the same services at comparable prices, but we didn't load the system with under-the-water-line social costs that threaten to bankrupt certain border states.

There ya have it.

Sounds like you have a problem with the laws that the elected idiots made. Has nothing to do with the people who naturally will pick up money laying on the ground.
