jimmy: Illegals are the top reason I want to get SOJ

Todd: Senator Ted Gaines needs to go!!

jimmy: Thanks RallySally;)

jimmy: All those that are for illegals immigrants havent had to worry about one taking their job.

jimmy: I agree that working in the fields is very hard work. Most citizens do not want to do that. When I was a kid I worked picking cucumbers in the fields with immigrant workers

Red: Not advocating for illegals

Red: Advocate legal immigration

jimmy: I know Red.

jimmy: I did not know it cost 10's of thousands to immigrate here

Red: Almost impossible

jimmy: That could be changed but in my veiw, the immigration system isnt being enforced more than it is broken

jimmy: Spill it Red ;)

jimmy: drive down I5 near bakersfield and see all the dead orchards and the signs posted by farmers begging our politicians ( Boxer, Finestien and Brown) for water

jimmy: I5 north of the grapevine that is

jimmy: He , I was just thinking. the SOJ thing is like getting a divorce from California. we are miserable and it is going to cost us and be a bit painfull, but after it is over we are going to be so much happier.

jimmy: a couple of years ago the licence to buy scrap gold went from 50 buck to 400 bucks in a year

Todd: "Crony capitalism" is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials.

Todd: It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism. Understand that "Crony Capitalism" and Capitalism are not the same thing.
