So while I was away on a Vegas trip last weekend, a major protest with half a million strong demonstrated their anger over the new tougher law on illegal immigration in downtown LA. The issue of illegal immigrants has been around for years in this country, particular in border line states north of Mexico, and sadly, the majority of ones against illegal immigrants are just bunch of closed minded morons.

Many of their reasons include the strain these illegal immigrants are putting on our welfare system, but the biggest reason, and the most flawed one, happens to be that illegal immigrants are taking away jobs for the "hard working" Americans. But how many supposedly hard working Americans are willing to cut grass in your backyard, baby sit your kids, and pick fruits/vegetables in the hot summer days. The answer is no. The poor Americans are poor for a fucking reason, it is because they are too damn lazy and they expect better shit without willing to put forth the effort. What the law makers fail to understand is that the force of market economy will continue to drive the demand for illegal immigrants. Supply and demand, like law of nature, will always prevail if you want to sustain a competitive economy. There are demands for cheap, back breaking labors that lazy ass poor Americans just dont fucking want to do. Of course, there are plenty of middle and possibly upper middle class Americans who are also against illegal immigrants working in the state, but they are just bunch of hypocrites. How many people take their car to a car wash once a week/month? how many would be willing to pay double so that they can hire legal workers? Not many I can tell you that. How many people are willing to pay EVEN MORE for a house in LA just so that contractors can hire legal workers to build the houses? None!

This leads to another closely related issue in this country and that is the trend of big companies outsourcing jobs to developing countries such as India and China. I watched Michael Moore going up to big business and asking them why they outsource jobs to other countries and not keeping the jobs here, and sure, it all sounds great to keep all the jobs in the state, but if you have half a brain and can look at a bigger picture, you would know that big business HAVE TO outsource jobs to stay competitive. What if GE or GM took the advice and kept all the factories in the US? Well let me paint you a fucking picture for the morons out there against outsourcing. The cost of their services/products will go up and eventually be passed down to the consumers. The consumers in this country will simply look else where for other international companies with a better edge. Just look at the big three auto makers in the US, they are struggling to keep up with the Japanese and European auto makers because of the health care/pension plan they have to pay for the American factory workers...and guess what is happening to them now? They are forced to lay people off. The consequence of not trying to be competitive is huge. If a big business fail, not only will the factory in the state close, soon, their corp. offices throughout the country will have to close...and what about the millions of investors/share holders who expect the executives of these companies to drive the profit up? Can we really blame big business? I am not willing to make a sacrifice to keep a few thousand factory jobs in the state to screw the other thousands of corp. office workers and million of investors in the state. The world is changing, and if you too damn stupid to realize you need a college degree to keep up, then dont come and cry for help. Just admit you fucked up and you either get your ass back in college or fucking stay on the damn street and ponder why you too damn stupid.

damn, finally got my xanga site back to norm...i dunno what went wrong..the backdrop I got worked for like a few days and it just went haywire...anyways...nothing really new going on except work and school...school and work...and oh yeah..more work.

well at least i am done with school..for now, but forgot to mention, i also got training as I will be working as a p/t seasonal tax professional at HR Block....sounds like fun..but not really. So yeah man, i hate to say this, but when did people get so naive all of a sudden..i dont even know if the the word naive fits...it's like those people who give you an answer that doesnt answer the question..i guess that's the feeling i get from a lot of foos i been meeting. i mean here at hr block, this isnt some high end tax service, it's no different than a Wamu bank, you come in, cash your check, deposit your check and you get the fuck out....and here i got classmates telling me i need to give my clients advice for the future on education/home and all that other bullshit...geez, you swear people with real money go to hr block..not to diss the hardworking americans but com'on man...if i am only getting like 20% per return...i aint going to take my sweet ass time giving them advice..you want advice...wait till you have some money first...

so i figured, despite the crappy pay at block, with my speed, i can probably bang out 2.5 returns per hr...which will get me roughly around 40 to 50/hr...not too bad esp if all i gotta do is sit there and prepare bunch of simple returns... anyways..these people just need to get realistic.....a dude coming into block with a w2 making 35k a year with 2 kids aint got time to worry about starting an education saving plan, or open a saving account to buy a home..they barely getting by man......alrite..i am out..late
