Agreed, I am involved in construction and it is ridiculous......If I dig a hole by hand I need a Laborer, If I use a bobcat I need an operator. If I pour concrete into the hole, Laborer again. If the concrete needs to be finished, yeah a concrete finisher. If I want to set a steel post in the concrete in the hole, Ironworker. If the post is wood, Carpenter...and so on and so on.

I have no problem paying someone a livable wage or better if they get the job done, I do have a problem with some self appointed job pimp telling me who can and can't do work.

Politics and unions both need a healthy slap of common sense.

Flat tax....yes

Army...best of the best

Term limits...absolutley, however I would be ok with 3, no more 20-30+ year congressmen, er um congressperson.


Of course legalization of cannabis.
