50 % of paycheck going to other country’s welfare is a drag in many ways.

Or looking at it from the Employer point of view.

1. Must Pay for Health insurance - a heavy cost to the Employer
2. OSHA other heavy handed G'ment mandates
3. SSI - why yes, let us keep giving future generation even more into debt

This can turn into a very long list. First we should look in the mirror

Being an employer for 41 years, I can see it from all sides.

Them buying votes with my money, foreign and domestic, with a large percent being washed and reused for personal gain.

Gotta love it if one is a pol.

The unwashed, not so much.

I send in a quarterly large (for me) check to the IRS. and on the "for" line, I write, dinner for two, on me.
