IDBillzFan Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Isn't that what it really boils down to?839330[/snapback] In the end, it's the bleeding heart approach that "it's only $11" that pisses me off more than anything. If it's only $11, then YOU !@#$ers pick up the tab and give me my !@#$ing money back. Spineless !@#$ing do-good pussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again...it's not the money. It's the attitude. It's only $11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it was simple stupid math for health care. But what about overcrowded schools. Over taxed infrastructures. LA's pissed off Italian gardner. It goes much deeper than just healthcare.

As to the other costs to the infrastructure and culture, you're asking me to believe that this immigration wave will be different than the previous waves where the immigrants assimilated more into America than America dissimilated into the immigrants.

All the previous immigrants that came here immediatly learned English, took to eating apple pie and started playing baseball. Don't listen to those liberal historians who say there were ethnic neighborhoods, foreign language newspapers and a great amount of tension between nativist and immigrants, that's all liberal propaganda!

Bitching "I want my $11 back!" is arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If you want to start eliminating waste, don't start with $11 in health care costs. Start with the $2000 per household in DoD spending the Pentagon can't even account for each year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $11 I pay to illegal aliens doesn't do me anything except more people become lazy and break the law. So pay up liberals. If it's no big deal you pay us back, or is it easier to be Robin Hood for anti-American illegals when there is no face to the tragedy. If it was up to conservative Americans we would happily pay $2,000 a year for a secure border, no illegals, and eventually the price of the $2,000 would go down because a 9/11 would've never happened.

mike1011 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 This could be a hunch, but the folks who've been arguing for immigration reform probably contribute much more tax revenue to the welfare state than you do. 839302[/snapback] You're hunch is wrong moron. I pay more taxes than you without knowing what you do for a living. I own and operate 2 real-estate investment companies with 12 employees. I pay 7 1/2% on each dollar for Social Security on top of my own money. They won't even see that money, some Mexican is sniffing it up their nose. Funny you say that because I was looking at opening offices in TX because the taxes were great (keep my offices here as well), but guess what? All of my friends in south Texas told me the real-estate market in TX is poor with no appreciation to speak of because of the influx of illegals.
