Teaching politics 101 to kids

[Matt D.]

I just re-read this and it looks like I wrote it. My bad. This is a cut and paste from an email my wife sent me, but it's kinda similar to the explanation I give to some people, this is worded better than I could.
That doesn't change what I said. :D

LOL I now understand politics.

Sadly, it really is as simple as that if you break it down.

I'm waiting for Tom to say the person offering the $50 is a mean, cold hearted SOB for not paying twice that amount for said work, and that a union should be formed to protect the worker from all evil SOB's.

Vote independent, but then you would be throwing your vote away. What you should have said was, " take that $50 to the corner of home depot somewhere in texas and pick yourself up an illegal worker and pay him $20 and keep the other $30. And then said welcome to the republican party".

up an illegal worker and pay him $20 and keep the other $30

You assume that the illegals would be qualified to do the work. Republicans do understand the value of repeat business...we put ourselves through college to learn stuff like that.

Personally I'm all for immigration, as long as they are skilled. These days that probably means Asian. Have I offended enough people with this post? My work is done.

If the Republicans were in power, there wouldn't be any illegal aliens looking for work at Home Depot.

Hey, I mow lawns, pull weeds (gardening), and blow off driveways for my job!
