The things you don't know could fill the Library of Congress, infant.

Paying less does not automatically save you money.

“what do you think it would run us to hire illegal aliens congressmen? “

Are you retarded?

Not when the quality makes the object need replacing 2-3 more often for the same or more cost. Basic math, george.

First – the main point is “illegal alien” means they're not supposed to be here – they are violating the law by staying in this country and need to realize that breaking the law has consequences here as in every other country in the world. Try illegally entering any other country in the world and telling them they have no right to deport you and see how far you get. We are not being unreasonable.

Second – unfortunately, this creates a whole new system of “sweatshops” and “near slavery” right here in America. How many times do we see news stories, etc. about places in other countries where people live on wages like 2 dollars a day, or something like that, and about how wealthy we are in America compared to them; or about American companies getting in trouble or being boycotted for running “sweatshops” in other countries where they pay people these ridiculous wages? Now companies have figured out that by hiring “illegal” immigrants here in the states, they can give them “sweatshop” wages (by American standards), little or no benefits, and the “illegals” are not likely to complain out of fear of arrest or deportation – and their bosses know this. This also gives the companies leverage against “legal” citizens as well – if they don't agree to work for lower wages and benefits, they can be replaced by immigrants that are “easier to control”. The AFL-CIO has its work cut out for it – the unions better really start talking to the immigrant workers big time. That might level things out a bit – who knows?

Listen infant…

You pay $2.00 an hour for a worker, YOU GET A WORKER ONLY WORTH $2.00 an hour. If you want the lowest prices person to paint your house or fix your car, that's fine. But low cost does not mean the best.

You are obviously spouting the crap Liberals have been feeding you about Capitalism. Please keep showing your abject ignorance. You are amusing us all!

Your ignorance knows no bounds, Maz.

Nice name change there, Maz. Very mature.

Again, all you have done is continued to demonstrate your incredible ignorance of Capitalism.

I will not tolerate the lies from the likes of mazabdul anymore than I will tolerate the pissy little lectures from the likes of you. I notice you take me to task for calling him out and telling me I an disrespectful, while ignoring his lack of respect.

So shove your lecture, Lisa. Diplomacy is not always the answer.

Lisa when people lie, they need to be called on it, ignorance needs education, facts need to be made clear and obvious. The method matters little when the person you're trying to educate refuses to learn or listen.

Overt trolling flagged.

Hawkins, once again, you really need to look into readjusting the Disqus setting to require a registered account to post. I would not do anything about clowns like this new guy “mazabdul”, but it would prevent crap like the post I flagged.

You have no understanding of Capitalism, infant. Study up and go through puberty, then try again.

A friend recently pointed out to me (and sent tons of definitions and historical info to explain it) that what is coming is not socialism, but fascism (where the government starts taking over the country's industries (auto, banks, oil, heathcare, etc. – they've already got their fingers in the pie) – it goes further than socialism.

Yes, I definitely see how it is becoming more fascist than socialist since most of what is going on is not for the benefit of you or me…well, unless you are a muslim.

I'm afraid you are incorrect John. Hitler was a member of the NSDAP (National Socialists German Workers Party) which later became the Nazi party due to Hitler's influence. A direct quote from wikipedia “Nazi ideology stressed the failures of communism, liberalism, and democracy” Generally the party was for…workers rights (at least *initially* they supported strikes and other actions that people attribute to union organization. I'm afraid that in many people's minds that Fascism is identical to right wing. In fact it can spawn from either right or left. I quote wikipedia for quick reference, two of the books I've read on the subject: Joachim C. Fest – Hitler; Mein Kampf. “…he gained support by promoting German nationalism, anti-semitism, anti-capitalism, and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda.” (wiki again) I've read translated versions of roughly 50% of Hitler's speeches and this statement is accurate. There are a long list of other books I've read on the subject, but the core result is that Fascism is neither left nor right. Perpetrators use both sides to achieve their aims. The main component to gaining power is a lack of confidence in government and some sort of crisis. In German the financial crisis was what helped propel Hitler and his party to power. Keep in mind that Hitler was not the creator of the party, he attained power through political maneuvering, intimidating (including protests and assault) opponents and his oratory skills. That sounds familiar…skillful oration, financial crisis, party members attacking opponents (say protests in front of private residences, saying that someone should be in a wheel chair, race card, attempting to disarm the populace, etc…), political maneuvering (acorn)…not positive where I've heard this before..it sounds familiar. Bah..I'm sure Hitler was intending to operate “the government for the benefit of the people.” You're right, there is a major difference isn't there? If you like I can give you more information on Stalin as well…the number of deaths, etc…or the GDR (German Democratic Republic or East Germany as you may know it) under communism…wait for it…wait for it…”was the socialist state established in 1949.” (wiki yet again for brevity) I'm sure that the people felt that “the major pillars of the economy” were (just for linguistic fun) “operated by the government for the benefit of the people.” Try reading a book entitled Under A Cruel Star: A Life in Prague 1941-1968 by Heda Margolius Kovály. Her husband was an economist for the Communist regime. Or read the Communist Manifesto, Locke, or hundreds of other writings by the original. Don't just buy into what either party says and parrot the distortions.
