[Rhodes22-list] Reduce your federal income tax (political humor)

[stan]

We can testify to the righteousness of Brad's sermon  -  the only difference 
may be that our guys are very nice - probably because they have such a nice 
boss...

I have been trying to tell Lou Dobbs and my Congressman Butterfield (he 
claims to be a Democrat but I have not noticed) that it is not a matter of 
not wanting to hire locals or paying imports less (we pay them more) or even 
finding some locals who really want to work.  The issue that gets buried is 
that the locals just cannot do it.  Their education is an embarrassment. 
Locals have told me their sun rises in the east and makes a right turn to 
set in the south or rises in the west and makes a turn to set in the north - 
depending on which way you are facing.  I have actually been told that the 
reason they drilled a hole in the boat in the wrong place (where 
incidentally no one with a brain could imagine the hole would go) was 
because their ruler was different than mine.   I gave it an 18 year shot. 
They just can't do it.  The guys I get form other countries and who can 
barely speak the language, can do anything, will do anything or learn it in 
minutes.

If we do have to stop the world to let me off, I will fight to take them 
with me -
