Outsourcing Jobs and USA's Greed

22% was last year (oh god... I'm not even 18 and I hate taxes) and that was mostly because of some scientist that made a big breakthrough coupled with they had very low funding so my low investment payed off like a big investment. I have also been busting my ass reading 10x the amount of business type books compared to school assigned books. The Rich Dad Poor Dad series is a great series by Robert Kiyosaki, I suggest you pick up one of his books sometime. I can relate to having a dad who is really stressed out too. My dad is too generous with him employees I think. There is a girl who has been working for him for 1 1/2 years, can't do anything right, spends only 2 hours a day actually working, gets to come in a hour late and leave an hour early for her kids (I can understand that), and also takes a whole bunch of sick days and vacations. He is finally firing her but is giving her 3 months salary, and full benifits. I guess he really cares for him employees.

Mrs. Greenjeans, you sound like you have been through alot but have stayed strong. I wish you the best of luck and remember to get as many hugs from your kids now as you can as you remember what it is like hugging your mom when you are 17 and in front of your friends. I still hug my mom in front of my friends though because I know that she is freaking out because I am going off to college. I also noticed that you have a very diverse range of careers, I bet you could fix a computer while dancing* and managing a household/business and baking some fresh bread for PB&J sandwiches all at the same time lol

And Bong30, lol... I like how blunt that comment was, not saying I agree with it, but its still funny.

* I really hope you can still dance sometime. I love dancing too, I even went to a strip dancing class in mexico last spring break lol, but I like salsa/tango the best.

I agree 100% move to mexico.... dont let the door hit ya.
Well thank you Bonger, I didn't know you cared. One things for sure, I'd have no trouble getting back in with the border the way it is. I've thought about joining the vigilantes on the border, but I'd be too tempted to shoot, so I decided against it. I'm glad I'm retired so I don't have to worry about my job, It's my kids and grand kids I worry about, what kind of a country will this be in 20 years? Mega rich and mega poor is the trend, we might all have to move to Mexico.

We had to debate last year what we think should happen to the border, I suggested flaming wall of gas. Really... Who would want to try to cross that? lol... Thats my 2 cents on the border.

We need machine gun turits with motion sensors.......


fuck the wall, machine guns will work......

lol... I would feel bad for the people getting shot though. I like the flaming wall of gas.

Gas prices as high as they are ya know.... you can get rounds of .223 for dirt cheap......LOL

what doesnt mexico fix that shit hole insted of making ours a shit hole.....

USA was founded by the English, Dutch, French, German type people, Mexico was founded by Angry Spainish People who acted like they were god but then killed a whole civilization. They kinda got off to a bad start. It was also manafest destiny that we became such a great nation according to like half the cowboys and such.

Not discounting your father's health issues: he has a choice. He could lower his standard of living, and relieve himself of some pressure.

the spanish can only be blamed for the origins of mexico's corruption. throughout it's history mexico's wealthy landowners along with the catholic church have actively participated in a way of life that keeps the masses incredibly ignorant while enriching themselves. while the us has a history of embracing immigrants and assimilating them into the culture, mexico has tended to discourage immigration and exclude immigrants from participating in its limited political and economic growth.

i know that someone is bound to take exception to my statement that the us embraces immigrants, but if you look back over the nations history you will find it to be true. our entire culture is a mixture of cultures from all around the world. it is only recently that we have attempted to curb the flood of people who look to this country for the chance at a better life. one of the major reasons for this current trend is that far too many countries have attempted to use us as a dumping ground for their criminals and those who are a drain on their own economies.

What the fuck????!!?!??! I see where your coming from but there is a fine middle class in a majority of the world. Our outsourcing makes there cuntry thrive but to a cretin extent bc then you dwell in the realm of money values and equal pay. Unions can thrive and in some cases all work ceased bc of personal issues. I know thats an extreme case and I'm not saying thats why we dont give poor ppl money. Its just a variable. If we jump back to America then we have pl upset bc there lack of employment resulting in a lack of overall motivation. the government has to support them at times bc many ppl would rather get free money rather than work at a job below there quote unquote standards. Idk thats the way i see it and we should spread wealth to other countries but look upon the international community for support. I know we attempt to be a modern day Prometheus but were still only one country. I don't take what im saying with a grain of salt if you want but thats my opinion. :hippy: :hippy: :hippy:
