[Tired of Taxes]

I just saw the above article posted on another forum, too. D'Souza wasn't an immigrant in the old fashioned way. He didn't come here with nothing and then scrape his way to the top. He had help from Americans - specifically, he received a scholarship from a Rotary Club when he was just 17. Then he went on to Dartmouth. His family in India wasn't poor by India's standards, either.

D'Souza is not an immigrant I would hold up as an example. Now the people who came here in the early 1900's... who had nothing and then fought in two world wars for this country and then still had nothing... THEY were the ones worthy of admiration. D'Souza just got a free ride.

He is every bit the example immigrant. Who cares that he was wealthy in India. All the more kudos to him; he had it "good" over there and still saw the light. How many people do you know who have come over here from some hellhole and can articulate to the commoner how awesome and important the freedom experiment is for the world?
