>$30 an hour is a enough to live off of in red states It's not just about $30 being enough. Why would you do $30 to spend 8 hours a day doing back breaking work in a 90-100F field, when you could get that money in an air conditioned office instead. >Paying for illegal immigrants health care, education, benefits They aren't getting benefits. Healthcare, education costs are largely negligible even according to most Republican estimates. >Why do you think New York and California is so expensive? Biggest reason is because of NIMBY politics. The economies become desirable, you want a desirable job in a desirable location. California has a lot of crazy high paying tech jobs, so people move in for the tech jobs. There's now more competition in the area, now your house value increases. You vote for people to keep your house value high. Because its nice when your crappy garage costs a million dollars for no real good reason. And it continues until it boils over and people move. |
Not everyone can get an office job especially in today's job market. Blue collar jobs are better than no job.
Illegal immigrants are getting benefits like free health care because they will never be held accountable for the bills they rack up. Yes, I agree democrats are scum bags who purposely implement policies that defeats the purpose of a free market. Thank you for finally admitting it.
