[Rhodes22-list] for Brad's eyes and those who reason only ...

[John Shulick]

I'm not quite sure how to address you now that you have been elevated to the
status of a living god. If you could please provide me with some particular
title or honorific that you prefer I will use that in future posts.

 Could you please tell me what programs you consider to fall under the
umbrella phrase "Great Society" I know of Medicaid and Medicare are there
any others?

A large segment of the illegals you mention do not provide for their
families. The state provides for a  majority of these people in terms of
educating there children and drawing on services intended for real
americans. What the Employer gets is labor subsidized by my tax dollars and
I get to compete for jobs with a peasant who's used to living in a dirt
floor hut. What language barrier? I'm halfway to speaking spanish simply by
going to a lowes or a home depot. By the way, income is not a indicator of
work ethic 
you can work very hard do everything right and still fail utterly. 

We could also fund your new entitlement by stopping all subsidies going to
maintain the FAA, air traffic control, all radar and nav installations,
launchings of GPS satellites  and all the airports across the USA.
I understand you don't believe in handouts so why doesn't your boss pick up
his companies' tab and take his hand out of my pocket as well. Fedex may pay
rent and fees but those don't come close to what it cost to initially build
the places you work out of.
