Further proof that we need to do something about illegal intrusion into
our country. Texas is full of illegal Mexicans. Now, Plume and Harry,
just what exactly is "racist" about that statement? I know you'll say it
is!

My kid would like to get a minimum wage job. The problem is that there
aren't any available in our area.

Your county government has some minimum wage jobs available. Took me all
of 30 seconds to find a bunch. Here's one:

Hourly Salary for the Library Page: $7.84.

Of course, working in a library requires some intelligence. Maybe your
kid got some from your wife's genes.

Only a "progressive" would find something negative with folks getting
jobs. Funny how these hypocrites work. They don't remember voting for
Clinton who said "we don't care if the whole country is making potato
chips for minimum wage, as long as they have jobs". But hypocricy is the
basis of the democratic party. That and catering to the big unions while
sucking the blood out or the middle class to pay for it...

You're foching crazy, Ingersoll. Your post proves beyond any doubt that
you simply are clueless.

Oh, and there are minimum wage jobs available in Montgomery County,
Maryland, where Bertie lives. I found some on-line in 30 seconds.

Let's see some examples of how the government or unions are sucking on
your financial blood.

Put up or shut up, dirtbag.
