[Tyler]

Joe Legal probably voted for Obama and lives outside of his means without a realistic budget.

Interesting but math is wrong. $52,000 - 30%= $36,400
Numbers shown reflect 40% for taxes not 30%.

I'm changing my name to Jose.

Don't go messing up a good rant with facts.

FWIW, I don't pay $200 a month to insure *five* cars. And Joe is doing his taxes wrong.

It not suppose to be factual, it's an analogy. The working America citizen carries the burden, while illegal immigrants and welfare leeches flourish.

Illegal immigration is a very serious problem, and it's one we *must* deal with.

But the myth of the illegal victimizing the "working man" was cooked up by the guy who's screwing *both* of them.

That guy wears a suit, not a sombrero.

Um.... Considering I wrote a 20 page research paper on our illegal immigration problem and the financial burden it causes this country for a class a couple years back, I will have to politely disagree.

[Frailer]

I'm not sure I agree with it *100%* either.

But if you want to find the crooks in a system, follow the money.

For example, who's the guy who's paying Jose $15/hour under the table, and what's he getting out of the deal? *There's* the bad guy in this little morality tale.

I did a paper on 'Anchor Babies' in a sociology class.
That'll make you sick- there were hospitals that went out of business in Texas due to being a free Mexican clinic...

Just seeing all the dammed illegals in my area building new homes makes my blood boil. I know a few people who went to trade/vocational schools to learn masonary, pipe fitting, etc...
After they learned their trades they made dammed good money through the 80's and 90's. Now days, those guys went to learn other skills, and trade jobs because the guy in the suit pays the illegals $8 an hour vs. $22 an hour for the guys from here.
Every time I see them on a roof jamming to the mariachi music blasting from their white van, I want to yell "GREEN CARD!" just to see how many go flying off the roof.
Yea, I know I cant blame them, its our fucked up system of government that needs to do something.
