    Not at all, that scum is what ruins it. Now I will say this, unless you are native american your a immigrant. Do you know if your family came here legally. Who are we to say no to anyone except criminals wanting to come here. Kinda how the whole United States was built upon. The Indians are the only one that can voice that opinion. I'm for free market, however when the labor wages have been held to a lower rate than inflation while corps get bigger and richer not paying a fair share of taxes is bull spit. Using the business idea is poor at best. Small business self employed guys like in this room are taxed at 30%, Gm, Ford, GE, are less than 1%. Even with them paying employee portions of taxes its 16% total. It's a bought and paid for entitlement that they create jobs so they dont have to contribute as much.

    In the best Morgan Freeman voice.

    That moment is when Andy began his ramp truck career, but was in competition with Bogs and the Sisters.

    You’re kinda all over here, let’s see first there have always been rules regarding immigration and there needs to be now. As far as taxes you’re telling me you pay 30% income tax on your business? I’m no fan of the tax code as it is, but to pretend that the rich aren’t paying their “fair share” is bullcrap. You tax GM and Ford and GE they just pass it right on to us it’s not hard to see. You complain about businesses not paying taxes and that’s fine but they do provide jobs and wages have gone up. What about the people towards the bottom that pay none? How about the ones who get money back without paying any with the earned income tax credit? Shouldn’t everyone have some skin in the game? Must poor people are poor because they choose to be not because some big company is holding them down. You wanna level the field? Do away with income and go to a consumption tax. You spend money you pay taxes, buy a $1500 civic you pay little, buy a $100,000 Jag you pay a lot. Wouldn’t matter if you got your money from drugs or trucking, the more you spend the more you pay. If I scrimp and save all my life by living a frugal lifestyle why can’t I pass that on to my children? Let me have the fruits of my labor, you don’t want to work and complain about being broke yet can’t pass a drug test fine but I ain’t helping ya.
