I know this might sound racist to some, but culturally it is the truth. However, economically they are needed. You think the spoiled gen X/Yers are going to do the jobs that Mexicans are willing to do? No way in hell...
Of course they would - just not at the same price. The concept of "jobs that Americans won't do" is garbage. In any case, our competitive advantage can't be in working for the lowest pay under the shittiest conditions.

That is the funniest, stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. Yea, the Fed and globalists manipulating and plundering our economy had absolutely nothing to do with it. Yea it was all the black people who bought homes that are responsible. Cause you know, white people are not defaulting on their mortgages right now, yea theyâre doing just fineQuote from Scataphagos:
What started the housing mess was Government (specifically the Democrats in 1999), passing legislation which demanded that people who were not financially qualified for a mortgage loan be given one anyway... all done to buy political favor.
Bigger troubles and offenses followed, but "Affirmative Action Lending" was the root of it all. Had the damage been limited to only sub-prime mortgage defaults, our current problems would be a mere shadow of what they are.
Do you really think the government would make banks give out 400k mortgages with 0% down to someone making 30k a year and no assets? You really need to stop listening to Sean Hannity and get out in the real world. In the past 30 years of mostly Republicanâs in power, the little guy has fallen progressively backwards. The Republicanâs in power have no clue why they are going to continually lose elections.
Oh and Iâm a Republican, at least for now. I bought into all the stupid stuff they talk about, but now I know most of it is crap. But the Dems are even worse, so I guess Iâm going to just become an Independent.
Where does this concept come from? We import a bunch of Mexicanâs here to do jobs that supposedly Americans wonât do. Who sayâs they wonât do them, Bush? Big corporations? The globalists? Yea because you know if there were no Mexicanâs here, the farmers in Florida would just let their oranges rot because there would be nobody willing to pick them. Also no roads would be built because Americans just donât do that kind of work. And of course weâd all let our lawns grow forever because surely white and black people would never take a job cutting grass. I mean, thatâs beneath us.Quote from short&naked:

Anyways, after working these jobs and getting paid next to nothing, we wonder why we canât even afford our daily expenses. So people like TraderAntiChrist rip us to shreds for working low end jobs. So people go to college, but since that it so damn expensive, they graduate with 50k in student loans. Of course then they say we are educated and deserve a nice high paying job. But when the economy is in the crapper, they go on unemployment instead of working a low end job just to make money. Unemployment also looks better on their resume than working at McDonaldâs. Then people like you say they wonât work low end jobs.

Where does this concept come from? Umnnn, I'd take a guess and say real life.
Go ahead and run a classified, advertising for a lawn mowing assistant or some menial job and see who responds. Pretend you're going to start your own landscaping business or janitorial business and you're interviewing for a future work force.

More bullshit. We did have a debate about the marijuana laws in Alabama and you totally lost the debate and all credibility... you desperately posted the wrong laws and even tried to cloud it with some story about a "friend's experience" but this was the final result:http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2388683#post2388683
You still haven't named a country with more raw opportunity than the United States and you never will because one doesn't exist. The GDP of the United States is almost triple that of the next largest country GDP-wise (Japan) and is almost as large as the GDP of the entire EU. But as I said it takes brains and initiative to take advantage of the opportunity here so it's a good thing you expatriated. And let me thank you for doing so... you made the United States a better country by leaving.
As for the rest of your drivel... what's laughable is that you think you're so worldly and well traveled when in fact you're just a naive, self-absorbed brat who doesn't know what he doesn't know.

Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
there's nothing to be "right" or "wrong" about with regard to the marijuana issue, it's simply what happened, and it's not up for debate...
with regard to your "opportunity" assertion, i disagree, this is coming from someone who grew up and went to college in the united states, who has traveled europe and is now an expatriate... your response was clearly an emotional one and is hence something you will probably not consider revising, so regardless of what evidence you are presented with, you will retain your position... but i'd say that there is LESS upward mobility in the USA than most of the G20 and first world nations... lol @ "undoubtedly"
Everybody, just give it up... the two parties dangle all this garbage in our faces like we are little babies needing some stimulation... economy, welfare, idealogies.. forget it, they both are guilty of taking away our rights. Focus on your rights and play the rest of the chips where they fall..

Those guys at the Constitution Party don't have a clue what can be done at the grass roots level. I know a couple of guys that specialize in constitutional rights, they get media attention, they had juice with the Bush White House, I'm sure that's worthless to them now, psudo marxist Democrats think rights is about riots and welfare.... They aren't lawyers, but they have gotten so many judges and cops fired it is unreal. The public sector is trampling all over us and we don't lift a finger, turns out it's not hard to get them off our backs, sometimes you just have to tell them and they resolve things themselves. My friends went to a city and told them they had fees that were unconstitutional and they city dropped it all like a bad habit with no fight at all...

And the GDP of the US is more than 70% consumption with a massive credit system, so as long as the dollar is king the US will dominate that is correct, however the day that ceases to be the case and all of that excess purchasing power is taken away at a very rapid pace in a short amount of time, then there will be a very severe withdrawal...
