what attitude

i didn't write the song

but it is the complaint (lazy) attitude of the american people
that has lead to this

and now it is only going to get worse because

more and more are jumping on the my vote don't matter band wagon

thus letting it get worse and worse

if everyone that did not vote wrote in a name any name

that would send a powerful message

but it is easier to sit back and watch the fav sit-com

which if i remember correctly a study has shown monkeys like those same shows

do not say i am the one wwith a complacent attitude

i have been working for awareness for a long time

if you do not believe me ask anyone that has been here
posting more than 6 months

At one point during my 21 year career as a legal secretary, I did immigration law.

Why I am against illegal immigrants and why they make my blood boil?

IF you worked with the people who are coming into the US the LEGAL way, you would see how hard they work, contribute to the US economy and welfare, have great pride in becoming a US citizen, how long it takes them and how expensive it is, you might possibly change your tone.

It is total disrespect to these people coming in the legal way, to allow the illegals all the benefits they reap from our country.

My blood boilsexplode over the crime they bring to my country. The drugs, prositution, the criminal acts they commit in our country, and they still get benefits from my tax dollars and the tax dollars of the people entering the United States of America the LEGAL WAY.

Now, tell someone who is entering the US the LEGAL way how much you support the illegals. :angry:

My dad filed for Social Security over a year ago. He's a veteran with diabetes and he's going to lose his feet. All he did for work was drive. He can barely walk anymore. They still haven't given it to him. The system sucks.


Yep. And when my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2003, they didn't want to give my dad a dime. He finally got one check from them, a month after he died.mad mad

You have the right to want change. I was making a point of the bullsh8t propaganda that goes on about illegals. Not only the amount of crime they commit here in our country which is minimal compared to the citizens crimes but also the amount of "our" money that goes into their pockets which is none.

We created this problem by allowing the illegals for many many years and paying no mind to it. We the people of this country enjoyed the slave labor, this includes us normal people, not just the rich, so we are at fault here for the problem being what it is today. People can get as mad as they want but they need to kick their own butts first for paying no mind to it for the last 50 years or so. Then after they recover from kicking their own butt then they need to work on resolving the issue humanely. These are humans we are talking about not animals, although some would love us to think of them this way. We treat all humans with the respect and consideration we expect for ourselves first.

So wanting a change is good, wanting to be hateful and spiteful and inhumane is not.

In a way I can see your reasoning, but disagree.

Here in my state of Pennsylvania there is a Real Estate Property Tax on the homes pg which said tax is used for school districts, the local municipality and the county.

I am one of the residents of PA who is workig with our representatives in getting this tax removed. MANY, and even one (1) senior citizen is one too many, and people of lower income are losing their homes that they have worked for all their lives, all because they cannot pay those godforsaken, sent from Hell property real estate taxes. You see, if you are unable to and do not pay these R.E. taxes, they take your home away from you and sheriff sale it for the price of the taxes owed.

Well, our local PA representative is working to get these taxes removed. He sent to all of his constituents a survey asking which measure they prefered to remove this taxe and what method they prefered to replenish the income that went to the school districts, county, etc. from the RE taxes.

I quetioned the residents on my entire street and only one read the questionaire and sent it in. The rest tossed it to the trash can.

I contacted my local representatives' office and asked them to resend the survey to the people on my street.

It was promptly done. I then questioned eveyone again, who complain to hell and back about the taxes, and only 2 of them filled out the resent survey and sent it in.

Was I livid?explode

I told them all never come to me and cry :cry: again over these taxes. They were too lazy to even fill out a simple questionaire so that our representative knew how his constituents felt and how to vote on the issue and how to direct his agenda.

If no one speaks up, how is our government to know how we feel? NO VOICE MEANS NO CONCERN.

THE WHEEL THAT SPEAKS LOUDEST GETS THE MOST OIL.

I wish they would just do away with social security. I will NOT be expecting to get social security when I retire. It's why I'm in school to make my own living and save all I can for my golden years. Less government in my life.

Agree with you on most of what you say. See a post I have written about taxes on homes in PA.

BUT, if these illegals were not here, they would be committing the crimes in their OWN county, not the US. I do not want to hear about the crimes certain citizens of the US commit. IT IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC OF ILLEGAL ALIENS. And you are wrong, they reap benefits from this country. They get free schooling, medical care, etc. Just check out California.

I have No COMPASSION for illegals who disrespect my country, commit crimes and bring in their illegal drugs.

DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME.

Well, what about them? I'm suppose to pay for everyone elses misfortune? If you want that money taken out of your paycheck, then go ahead. But I don't want to add money towards something I will never see.

GRRRRR. I KNOW PA is a COMMONWEALTH. But people in general all class it together as a state.

EVERY state, (commonwealth for your benefit) HAS THEIR OWN TAXES, AND TAX RATES ON DIFFERENT ITEMS.

We all know that!

The point I MADE was if you want change SPEAK UP!!!!!

thats cold girlfriend...a society's strength is how it treats its most needy (for lack of better word)citizens.But for the grace of God go I..one bad accident could put you in need..compassion is getting to be a rare commodity it seems.
