The Jimmy Kimmel/Bachelor Board is at it again....
http://o.forums.go.com/abc/latenight/jimmykimmellive/thread?threadID=1042748&forumStart=0

So let me get this straight...

Capitalism and the free market created a scenario by which more and more, businesses take their production to other countries because it's cheaper (outsourcing). If they don't outsource, many hire illegals here to do the work cheaper, taking jobs away from americans.

How do you free market/capitalist types sort this all out? Isn't what's happening in regards to illegal immigration just a byproduct of a free market society? Shouldn't businesses have the right to take their production anywhere they want on this planet if they feel like it? Why should they be forced to hire expensive labor when they can get it cheaper?

A rightie-poster wrote earlier about the pickle he now finds himself in...his business he's been in for 11 years may go under because he cannot compete with cheap illegal labor. Does anyone else see the sad irony in this? His political philosphy has delivered him his own nightmare. I feel bad for him, truly I do.

Anti-union, pro business, pro free market politicians and the people who voted for them, brought all these things on...file it next to working class folks voting for republicans.

What the heck did you expect? ...the democratic party has always been, as is right now, the true party of the people. If the GOP would stop shoving gods, guns, and gays into the polling booths, maybe the electorate would actually reflect the working class and there needs in terms of government...

****************

Sorry, the Democrat party does not represent "the people". I am one of the "people" and very little of their platform applies to me. I have health insurance, we have a sizeable savings account that we worked for, my husband has guns, I don't want my son to learn about homosexuality at 6, I think abortion is wrong, and I'm all for drilling oil in Alaska. I also think it's a good thing to make a lot of money in this "land of opportunity" called the United States.

1. Short-Termed "ME" Logic
Edited on Mon May-01-06 03:21 PM by AValdoux
I have health insurance - So If I'm not as well off as you, I deserve to die without medical care

Sizeable savings account - How much do you owe on your house, cars & credit cards?

My husband has guns - So? I have guns. Also, I bass fish & watch NASCAR

What if your son IS a homosexual? They are born that way.

Abortion is wrong - Don't have one and don't tell me what to do with MY body based on YOUR beliefs

Drilling in Alaska - So we consider conservation after we have sucked this planet dry and your dead

"Land of Opportunity" - Do you care who or what you have to do to get this money?
