You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families
have two parents, two children, and live in California .


Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes
$25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.


Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number,
and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".


Ready? Now pay attention...


Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $ 1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00
per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has
$31,231.00.


Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or
$31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has
$31,200.00.


Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for
his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now
has $24,031.00.


Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and
local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has
$31,200.00.


Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or
welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per
year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.


Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps
and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.


Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe
Legal now has $9,631.00.


Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose
Illegal pays $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal
still has $ 31,200.00.


Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal
now has $7,231.00.


Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has
$31,200.00.


Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.


Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities,
gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.


Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after
work.


Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.


Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get
a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after
school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.


Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services,
but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.


Do you get it, now?


If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...


You are part of the problem!

...Interestingly, I see that the Reid plan now covers all but 6% of Americans (didn't it used to be 4%?)--so now we're up to 18 million uncovered? Are they still calling it "universal" health care? Guess universal means something else in the lib dictionary.

President Obama famously pledged that his health care reforms will not add to the federal deficit. Does anyone actually believe this malarkey?

Apparently not, as a majority of the Democrats polled say it's not likely the plan will break even.

I love the part where some future Congress will have to vote to enact over $400 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid -- as if that will ever happen! 8)

Well David, don't you understand that if patients actually get in to see their physicians, that the evil, fiscally irresponsible doctors will actually order tests and prescribe medicines? Golly, that's expensive! Some of the doctors might actually do the unthinkable and *GASP* put their sicker patients in the hospital. That'll blow the budget really fast!

If everybody did that, it would inspire congress to quit squandering money, wouldn't it? Surely they would quit squandering money if we would dig down and give generously?

Sarah Palin, our own political reality show, visited my home town on Friday with her book tour. The darling of the far right, and the favorite politician to hate for the left, she sure draws the crowds. I find this to be a pretty succinct explanation of why the left hates her so much:

I for one, hope she runs for pres in 2012, as it almost guarantees another Democratic victory (besides being immensely entertaining), despite Obama's missteps. Look at the mid-term elections this month, where two Republican state governor candidates turned down her "help," (they got elected) and the congressional candidate she endorsed lost the seat to a democrat for the first time in multiple decades in that district's history.
