Oh come on Tom...  This happened 5 generations ago.  The US took the
land and that is that.  You act like Manifest Destiny is a bad thing.
It's survival of the fittest, and it's been going on for 25,000 years.
When a land is taken the people are assimilated.  Yes, after a war the
next generation of survivors are expected to assimilate.  You
mentioned the Native Americans not being the original inhabitants of
present day USA, (which I have not been able to verify), since you
claim that they came from the Aleutian Islands (which is not in Asia
BTW) why don't you speak Aleut?

Tom, this is really very simple, and it's not just a union thing -
it's employer vs. employee.

When I choose to go to work for someone I am pretty much giving up any
hope of getting rich.  In exchange for my loyalty, you have to agree
to pay a comfortable wage - and provide benefits that are necessary
for everyday living.

Overtime is not a union rule, it's based on state law.  It's meant to
keep tyrants like yourself from exploiting workers.

Why shouldn't you provide a company vehicle?  I'm driving to YOUR
jobsite.  From what I understand, parking in your city at the jobsite
would cost me a half-days wage -- I guess I should pay that too?

All these things are the cost of doing business and should be included
in your markup.  These are not luxury items.  Like I told Bob, if I
wanted your headaches, I would start my own business.

That's fine.  I never expect a bonus, when it's given I truly
appreciate it.

Does that apply to your newborn?  Is your kid going to sweep floors if
he turns out to be a nimrod?  Nahhh... you will have told him
everything you just wrote above.   And if he DOES turn out to be a
half-wit, you'll give him a job at 24/7 in management, no less.

Yeah.. You and I are paying for the illegal's children's  education,
healthcare, food stamps, social programs, and oh yeah-- prisons & jail
occupancy,  but that is great.   You know that 25% of your health care
premium is paying for illegal's, right?   You see a small picture,
like most republicans.  What's good for your wallet at this moment is
all that matters.

Send down the busses, you can have them all.

You can't,  they are not eligible to work here.

Seems to me you've reverted to a plantation owner.
