Your guess would have less than a 3-in-10 chance of being correct. You want to bet odds like that? I'd be interested in seeing any praise that you can dig up that I had for conservative businessmen with the ethics of that scumbag.
Any guesses on how many ex and current Goldman employees are working for or have worked in the administrations of both parties? Those bastids cheat and steal legally.

Great day in America when you can pick up weed eater, a new grill & a man servant for the day. Talk about all in one shopping!
People in construction work their azzes off & too bad they can be sold so cheap. Funny thing about contractor insurance - it is expensive for a VERY good reason - more people hurt or killed in the industry than any other.
Know someone who is now living on tubes & another w/ mom & dad...my neighbors brother was in a coma for 6 months & now progressed to a nursing home... only cause they ALL trusted a home owners ladder. [Bleeeeep!] that should've been thrown out- "tagged" - long before a foot ever stepped on a rung.
If an illegal immigrant can be paid living expenses on account of their anchor baby - they should be able to be paid to work. Immigration law is FUCHKED UP.

Yeah and you liked not having to pay social security, medicare, Wash. St L and I (workmens comp, insurance), employment security taxes. I'm sure you gave them their 20 min. breaks and spent countless hours providing safety training, etc. etc. Theres the problem. people use illegals for cheap, then bitch about the feds and states not doing anything about their illegal presence in this country.
Here's what needs to happen. The Feds need to grant amnesty and issue temp. work visas. Document them and have them pay taxes on earnings. Stay out of trouble, stay and do the work no one else wants to do for cheap. Win win situation. homeowners and contractors get cheap labor if they want to pay the price. Add $5.00 per hour for state and federal requirements. Send 1099's misc and W-2's. If you're in compliance, keep working. If not, no more work until you are in compliance.
I'm a general contractor and compete in the bidding process with othe GCs who use illegals all the time. Not fair at all and I can't compete with these underbidding aholes. I watch them pick up workers at home depot all the time. The state should record license numbers and do follow ups on these GCs and see if they are paying employee taxes AND state sales taxes. Lots of revenue to be had there. GUARANTEED it would pay for the enforcement.

What would happen if the U.S. actually had a surplus of money? The value of the dollar would be a lot less.

When I was talking to my accountant about a flip I was working on, he said the biggest exposure for hiring workers from Home Depot or unlicensed contractors is if they get hurt on your property, you may be faced with a large claim that your insurance may not cover. I took x-rays of a worker hired off the street; he fell off a ladder, breaking his wrist and ankle. The scumbag that hired him dumped him off at the front door of the ER and left. I bet a Home Depot browner could push the button for a lot less dough.

"browner"? How derogatory and racist of you. Would you care to qualify that term?

"browner" aka "short for the previously mentioned derogatory term brown skinned" aka someone who can do every bit of Hanksters job for a lot less money.
RWWJ's like to refer to them as freeloaders, illegals, wetbacks, etc. unless it's an election year.

Nice try on the back peddling to cover your slip of the tongue.  It's probably time for you to do the finishing touches on the room you're getting ready for Charlie Manson. What a dum fuk.

No slip of the tongue it was an intentional play on the already used term. As much as you'd like to Fox News it.....you end up just looking like your typical RWWJ self....who pushes a button for a living....and who's brain has been irradiated to less than a marsupials capacity.

Says the racist with a single-cell brain. In the mean time, SCOTUS is hearing arguments on the AZ immigration law today; doesn't look good for the government's case. The "wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life" told the federal governments' lawyer that key parts of his arguments were "not selling very well."

"a requirement that police officers check the immigration status of people they think are in the country illegally."
All for that are ya? Care to give us your guidance on the proper way to "think are in the country illegally"?

I'm not sure how you would think I'm in favor of that...but then again, I'm not sure you think at all.
