    The truckers who don’t get paid enough do that by choice. There’s always more money to be made somewhere else if you put the work in. No one is forced to work for anyone. I don’t believe in fairness and handouts. I guarantee you you’d be talking out the other side if it was you at the top. The only bad people in this world are the ones preaching the redistribution of wealth while padding their pockets with hard earned American money. These are the people we for some reason passionately vote for to lead their legalized extortion and racketeering organization called the United States government. This is the unfortunate reality we currently live in, and when the illegals come in to take advantage of the system we pay for it angers me. Now you can say they’re not that way and bleed your heart dry for the entire forum to see. They’re not all bad, but not all drunk drivers kill people. It’s still illegal, and it has to be stopped.

    I sense resentment, jealousy, and envy in your righteous indignation of rich people. I'm sure you don't know all of them and you certainly don't know how they got to that point and what sacrifices they made to get there. That doesn't matter to you because you seem to think that their success should be dutifully shared with you.

    4 out of 5 American millionaires are self-made, first-generation. The average American millionaire drives a $24,000 car. The average American millionaire works more than six days a week.

    I can name you two illegal aliens who are millionaires in this country right now. I used to work for one of them. They will laugh at you and your demand for equality of outcome.

    You can name 2 out of 12 million. I guess that speaks for all of them, right? Anyway, as for what you sense in my post, your senses steered you wrong sir.

    So what would happen if every illegal were to get deported? What if nobody ever came to the country illegally? What really changes?

    Ask Kate Steinle. Oh wait...

    Honestly the trash companies that hire illegals will either pay a decent amount of money, or go out of business (no big loss). Then hopefully the good people of foreign nations will come here to become citizens, and take pride in being American.

    Pretty simple actually. A shortage of workers causes wages to go up.

    Nah, I got it right. You haven’t presented anything original. You’re condemning a group of people that you’ve never met. You’re calling them names. You demand that they share their wealth with you for nothing in return. What else could be motivating you to do this? A sense of justice? Puhleeze.

    No brother you got it all wrong. Nobody has to share wealth with me. I just say pay a livable wage. Employers should be able to do that. That's no way saying share your wealth. Paying somebody $11 an hr in California is an insult. Paying somebody $11 an hr anywhere is an insult because in reality, you can't really live off that. Not everyone can get to the promised Land financially. It'd be nice. I'm not saying people should be living lavishly, but you should have to get your paycheck and have to decide between this obligation or that obligation. Paychecks are not in line line with the current costs of basic living and you and I both know that. Yes employers that pay their workers peanuts, and expect loyalty while they make more money then they'll ever spend in a lifetime, yes they should be condemned. It doesn't apply to all, because not all ate like that.

    Brother, you get paid what you are worth to others. If the person or company thinks that you are only worth $11 an hour then I hate to say it to you brother but that is your value as a human being. You are an $11 an hour person. For you to demand that a person should be paid more regardless of what the person has to bring to the table is a demand for equality of outcome. That is what is called wealth redistribution.
    As Orwell would later admit that this is motivated by people who hate the rich way more than they loved the poor.

    Brother don't you think I know that? That just goes to show how employers feel about those that contribute to their success. Without those workers, their business is nothing. These people contribute to their wealth that's ever growing. Why not take care of them? I'm not saying make them rich at all. I'm not saying go buy them anhouse or car. I'm just saying give your workers a reason to stay working for you. Just to clarify, I have no hate towards the rich. They did what they did, so kudos to them. It's the system that allows employers to pay people cheap that I have issue with....ever heard that phrase, "Don't hate the player, hate the game?"
