98. Bush and the Repugs are to be dammned on this, but so is Ted Kennedy.
Today I called Ted Kennedy's office about this matter - this crazy idea that there are "jobs that Americans won't do", and therefore we have to import workers - . I had an argument with his slick Ivy league interning spokesman who insisted that corporations need the workers and there just were jobs that Americans won't do. Unbelievable. I gotta hand it to the PR firm that ever thought up that tack, to creat this meme: "Jobs that Americans won't do.". Like you all, I have done these jobs and will do them again: taxi driver, laborer, dishwasher, dry-waller. This whole idea started about 5-10 years ago, this insisting that there are jobs that Americans won't do. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of corporate shills in the Democratic party who aren't doing a damm thing to stop it, and I can name 2 of them right here: Ted Kennedy and Barbera Boxer. If you don't believe me, call their office and listen to their response.
