ReplyDeleteWhile Jose can work under a 1099.
So after Joe trains Jose, Joe finds himself looking for another job.
Joe usually is 1099 also and pays another 15% self employment tax that wasn't in the equation and works until he dies or is 80 to survive. My Dad was Joe and was 87 when he passed and had 2 jobs scheduled for the next week
DeleteThat's been around a while but still just as appropriate.
ReplyDeleteThis has been documented time after time in various places and websites. Yet, nobody in power pays attention. Why not? Votes, which equals control, which equals graft beyond your wildest imagination.
ReplyDeleteRemove the incentives, and the problem will right itself gradually.
A dad I knew owned a construction company. Every January 1st he started $150K in the hole paying for workmen's comp insurance. He left California because he couldn't compete with Jose.
ReplyDeleteThey lose one vote from Joe Legal but gain many votes from Jose Illegal's whole family.

600 a month for health insurance? Lucky dog! I'm at 2300 and it is shit!

Joe illegal and his girlfriend vacation each year in Cancun, Cabo, Paris, drive new cars and laugh all the way. Stupid gringos. in addition, illegal Joe's aunt works for HHS and insures his status as a refugee remains active.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget that if illegal Joe gets hurt while working on your house or property he has a free lawyer that will sue you. Life is so tragic for the poor illegal. My only wish is for this tragedy to befall all those stupid liberals that weep and wail for these con artists.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you own a construction company but you're not a team player and making the the 'correct' campaign contributions, guess who gets the Bureau of Labor called on them for 'hiring practices' or 'unsafe working conditions'; while other companies openly pick up illegals right at the border have the right name on campaign stickers.
ReplyDeleteWhen enough people get pissed, bodies will begin to disappear in the night. Or pile up on politician's porches. Not enough people are pissed yet. Not sure why ...
ReplyDeleteJose also claims many children for child tax credit and no one checks
ReplyDeleteI don't need no stinking math. The majority of illegals don't work. Also, illegals don't belong here. Full stop...carry the zero f@(ks given.
ReplyDeleteIt is not just the liberal Democrats or the crying, wailing leftists that have created this problem, that is, and Will destroy The United States, but also the craven cowardly Republicucks. There is no solution, Biden sealed our fate and the Repiblicucks just watched and collected their checks from the Demorats.

Anytime you want to organize grand juries to prosecute crooks and infringements of the bill of rights, and start electing libertarians, you are free to do so. How many of you voted for Ron Paul for President? None, I bet, because you still thought you would benefit from rich people paying taxes. Commies have no standing to complain about other commies doing the same thing.
