    I've probably delivered to a hundred Home Depot stores over the past 2 years. I've yet to see a white person looking for work in front of any of them.

    Thanks for the insult. No not really. But, hey maybe you didnt hear we are being invaded by millions of illegal Mexicans. Six months from now when you're truck is getting repo'd and you are going through bankruptcy because your new business didnt work out. Who knew you couldnt make a living on $.80 a mile, and paying a mechanic $300 to fix a light bulb on your truck, sound familiar? Don't come crying racist on this board. They don't pay taxes PERIOD!


    Mr Obvious says: Here is something else you OBVIOUSLY didnt know. The SBA doesn't have any of their own money. That money is taken from the US tax payer LEGAL US Resident. So............................ Guess what, that money that you say "anybody" can get comes from legal tax payers. It sure as hell wasn't made it back into my pocket, but that didnt stop it from being taken away, and thrown into yet another entitlement program. Apparently you have never attempted to deal with the SBA. Don't say you have and received money as I will call you a liar! For us American Boys it takes money to make money, and that's the way the SBA rolls. Unless you have the collateral in SPADES to secure that cash the sba will laugh you right out of the door.

    Gosh, who knew it was that easy [knocks head] to get free govt money. Why didnt I think of that duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I would buy me some rabbits.

    If your definition of racist is somebody that loves their country, and wants to protect it from people that come here illegally. Then I am a racist. I also think these hard working people should stay in their own country and build it into something worth defending. That too probably makes me a racist in your eyes. But hey, good luck with your $300 light bulb changes. There's a sucker born every minute.

    Thank God for velcro shoes, otherwise some people around here wouldn't be able to dress themselves in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    True that....But some immigrants qualify for "Refugee Status".....enabling them to receive a loan at at very low interest rate at 30 years....

    I know of several Armenian refugees who bought truck and transfer units back in the early 90's that did it that way...

    When most of us who buy a new rig get an 8%+ loan at a max of 66 months to pay it off.....
    Imagine what kind of rates you could run if you had a rig where you had payments of less than $1K at 2% and 30 years to pay for it.....Hell...you could run those $.80/m tarped lumber loads and still profit....

    Well yes and no.....There are hoops and hurdles to jump and go through....

    I'm a Veteran....Bank said no to that...Not good enough.....BTW...I have a credit score in the High 800's....Still not good enough for SBA type loans....

    In Cali to qualify you must be a certified DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise), WBE (Woman Owned Business enterprise), or an HOBE (Hispanic Owned Business Enterprise) to qualify with the least amount of resistance...

    It's not impossible for someone who is not in the aforementioned categories...just extremely difficult right now.....The Federal government is hell bent on "leveling the playing field" right now....

    Nothing wrong with that....I wish you both continued success....

    And I think that those that are granted "political asylum" don't pay income taxes for 5 years,....

    At least that's what a friend told me,...He has a bunch of apartment buildings that he rent to immigrants that were imported by the government and they all work at a local factory,...The government pays the rent and half of the wages at the factory,....And the immigrants don't pay federal income tax for 5 years,...

    Amen.

    I have no problems with folks that immigrate here legally. I have a HUGE issue with those that come here illegally.

    A couple of years ago I helped a legally immigrated co-worker study for his citizenship exam. I asked him about illegal aliens. He didn't like them any more than I did.
     
    Kansas Thanks this.
