6. Yea, but my comment is not that fair.

There is some percent at the bottom of income that will always sponge, just like at the top of income.

But I will tell you this, the bottom part cost far less then the top part. They are happy with a small check, not billions.

And in truth most of the unemployed want to work, and my statement was more out of disdain for some thought ideas.

But the basic point is, the business wanted the cheaper labor, if they had been willing to pay a slightly higher wage, or have health benefits, there would have been US unemployed on the fields picking. Or if there were community or family farms. But for at least 30 years they wanted the illegal labor, so now they got it, and they can't just be mean to them, since they got what they wanted, profit motive setting agenda.


Nothing against immigrants, but they are here because they were wanted, if they were not, then they would have been fining business that hired them.


Just more free market capitalism at work, what the Republicans like, so they got nothing to argue about.
