I'm not a big fan of U2, but they are one of the more influental bands out there.

The biggest reason why people hate it so much is because the House version calls for an additional 5% tax to be taken by the State for all money wired out of the country.<BR/><BR/>I am most opposed to such taxes, as this money has ALREADY BEEN TAXED, and the 5% is just a way of the government showing arrogance towards an entire group of human beings. Legal or illegal, if you earned a dollar that is your dollar. I'm sick to death of taxes. Most Georgia voters will certainly not oppose that tax like I will, because they don't understand that lawmakers are using the power of the majority to abuse the minority, and the same can and would happen to them if the opportunity presented itself. Let's see, this is EXACTLY the reason why the Southern States seceeded from Lincoln's bullshit in the 1860's. The government cannot abuse the rights of the minority. I thought we learned that last century, but here it is again.<BR/><BR/>Besides the 5% tax, the bill seems like good law. It ensures that all government contractors are staffed by a legal workforce, which is perfectly legitimate in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>The right wing spin machines (which I'll distance myself from gladly in this instance) are trying to present the 5% tax issue as if that 5% was the only tax that would be taken against that money. The problem is that most illegal workers do pay income tax, because their employers have to. They also don't get any of their witholdings back, because you can't file if you're illegal. Therefore, the government gets far more than their share of worker's checks.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we need immigration law that makes sense, but why even bother if we can't enforce the laws we have now? If our retarded laws are abused, even our good ones will be abused if we don't prove that we can enforce them.<BR/><BR/>The Fair Tax makes immigration much more simple, because the government cannot lose internal revenue from illegals working and not paying taxes. If they live in the US, they will consume retail goods, and therefore they will pay into the Medicare systems that they will use. The Fair Tax rewards legal immigration, because only legal immigrants can receive the prebate (the built-in function of the Fair Tax that basically pre-imburses you for any taxes that you would have to pay on poverty-level spending). Therefore, illegal immigrants would pay the full fury of the tax burden without the progressive scaling that US citizens and legal immigrant workers benefit from.BlackLabelAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097549190860372632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-1145371576727999042006-04-18T07:46:00.000-07:002006-04-18T07:46:00.000-07:00mmmmm Crown Royal mmmmmmHey Axe, what is this I ke...mmmmm Crown Royal mmmmmm<BR/><BR/>Hey Axe, what is this I keep hearing about new a immigration bill in Georgia that is one of the toughest in the country?
