I just heard on the local news that our county school system is laying off all of it's janitors, custodians, maintenance workers, etc... and outsourcing them to foreigners and immigrants.

They probably don't want English-speaking people who would know all the secrets. :stick_out_tongue:

LIKE.

(Does anyone else feel like using that Facebook 'like' in real life? I find myself saying it out-loud much to people's bemusement)

It's a difficult thing. I'm a big supporter of America being open to immigrants. But that doesn't mean the people already here should be sacrificed.

Also, this remains me of why taxing the rich is indeed a good idea. The idea that the rich should be taxed less because they create jobs is simply false. The rich don't create jobs; they simply outsource them to other countries.

Not to mention they just pocket that money as "profit." And AS I've said 1000000000000 times by now, that's like giving a little kid 4 bucks to buy milk, tell him he can keep the change, and seeing him come back with a 50 cent half pint carton.

Again, that's a hard subject to take sides on, immigrants. If anyone wants to blame anyone, blame THEIR governments for making them want to go to another country to get a working wage, not them. Though it seems they constantly get hired BECAUSE the employers can pay whatever they WANT and ignore evil commie stuff like health benefits, overtime, minimum wage... it's just a sign that the big businesses DOES want us to go back to the days where people work in sweatshops all day, for little pay, with no regulation. Outsourcing proves this. They can give us wonderful turn of the last century slave labor all the while working around the evil socialist big government regulations that keep us at hedonistic 8 hour days, and having our arms sliced off in not at all shoddy equipment.

Seriously! Why must everyone take their side, when they just want to make a bunch of money they don't deserve? That ISN'T capitalism. Capitalism is when these companies give us work so we can AFFORD their products.

Now this sounds like a school district, and that's probably because of massive whopping budget cuts (again, to pay for the wealthy's excesses), and they have to lay off more people so less people can buy stuff. Really? That doesn't sound like creating jobs. Everything the create jobs crowd passed KILLS job creation.
