FROM THE MLPF GROUP
*** begin quote ***
If we are speaking of the U.S standard of living, then there are some facts that cannot be avoided. Our so-called neighbor Mexico, should list “poverty” as their number 1 export to the United States. The depression of wages by caused by the ability to pay less than market value wages to illegal immigrants is a fact. Our health care system is teetering on collapse because of the ongoing illegal invasion and people who cannot pay their fair share of health costs. Of course, they are not supposed to be here in the first place because they have not taken the legal course to immigrate to our country. Let me also send this little jewel of knowledge out as well. The title is, “An American Suicide”.
*** end quote ***
I don’t want to drag the group into a political discussion. But, the “mexico exporting poverty” comment makes me crazed. The USA’s version of socialism is what causes the problem. Welfare for everyone! Done at the expense of the productive class with absurd taxation (theft by force). Supported by paper money not backed by anything that destroys thrift. And producing sheep people with a “public education system” that would make a German National Socialist and a Communist equally pleased. So, if you think that “importing Mexican poverty” is the problem, then put a giant plastic bag over the Statue of Liberty. After all your relatives got here before you slammed the “golden door” shut behind you. No, my list mates, the problem isn’t that we import “mexican poverty”. The problem is that we have forgotten what this country great. Individuals took responsibility for their choices. It was only when we started thinking that the government could morally do something we couldn’t ourselves. When we learned that we could steal from our fellow citizens via the ballot box. When we fell victim to the siren’s song of a fiat currency unbacked by anything that allowed the government to spend whatever it wanted. That’s when we started down the slippery slope towards socialism. It took 70 years for the Communist USSR to self-destruct. It should be our turn soon. I notice that the writer didn’t discuss that the USA exports inflation to the globe by printing unbacked “Federal Reserve Notes” and sending them overseas for real products. That we “meddle” in everyone’s business. And, that “the great American Experiment” has failed. Guess he didn’t notice: That Habeas Corpus has been suspended by WashingtonDC. That at least half of everyone’s earnings is stolen from them in taxes. (No one can tell the real number because the politicians have done a great job pulling the wool over our eyes.) That we have deficits, unfunded liabilities, and a ton of post dated checks that will eventually come due. And, yet we still blissfully kid ourselves that it is the poor Mexican coming here to make a better life than he can have in Mexico is the source of all our ills. Sorry, but that makes me crazed. fjohn
