Tell us the party the continually rails against big business yet is always
in the top spots on the contribution lists. Take a guess who the biggest
recipient of BP money was in 2008. You know, the company with the boot on
their throats.

Many undoc. workers pay income tax. Few if any get Soc. Sec. I'm not
denying that undoc. workers impose costs on society, but I don't want
to turn the US into something akin to Nazi Germany in order to get rid
of them, as you do. Your position on this issue is based on hatred and
bigotry.

Why do you make such statements????

There's too much "righty", "lefty" bullshit being thrown around, just
disparaging epithets tossed out at anyone who disagrees with another's
thoughts . Everything isn't dependent on political thought.

I don't know anyone that doesn't want to see the influx of illegal's
contained. Absolutely no one, and I'll bet that you can't come up
with anyone either.

The problem is way to complicated for the simplistic pap that's
proposed here though.
