Do we dislike Old people this much?
Got this in an email today and it's really sad:
What a country........................................ 5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension. However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc. WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE.

Yeah, no kidding! I have nothing personal against people who flock over here illegally, but they should be entitled to NOTHING that is paid for by our tax money until they become citiens. At which point, they will also be paying into that system. It's bad enough the already strained employment rate is further strained by people working here who shouldn't be.

I, too, do not think that the illegals should recieve anything. They should not have a free ride. I also think that the companies that close up here and move over to other countries to get cheap labor should be boycotted.
I think our elders deserve a lot more than they get. |

I agree with companies that outsource. Do not use them if you know what they are doing. Many of them go to great lengths to hide it though. Here is a good one: Many of the Indian doctors who practice in our country and make a living off of Americans now outsource their dictation to India, meaning they will dictate into a machine which transmits it overseas where a transciptionist in India will type it and send it back here. It is done much cheaper, but puts another American out of a job. They are also doing the same with radiologists reading x-rays. I have a big issue with a lot of things being sent to India where most people are still practicing Hindus and lots of "untouchables" are left beaten in the streets and unfed. Shame on anyone who supports this type of system.

Outsourcing is great, it makes stuff cheaper. There is no reason that my shoes need to be put together by an American when someone in China will do it for 1/20th the cost.
Also, most illegal immigrants pay more income taxes than legal workers with similar incomes. There are plenty of legit reasons to hate illegals, we don't need to continue to perpetuate the myth that they're a tax drain. |
