Thread: The Arrogance of a Kennedy Staffer

I am in the process of causing Senator Kennedy a little trouble and I love it.

My conversation started off with a Kennedy staffer singing the praises of Kennedy's compassion. That didn't sit well we me so I went into the Hispanic groups and the Chamber of Commerce writing the S9 bill. He denied it. I ignored that and asked him who was writing the bill for the 80% of Americans who don't want citizenship for illegals, who want attrition thru enforcement, etc... I then said, "And the Democratic Party is supposed to represent the average middle class American and now they are in bed with the Chamber of Commerce?"

He tried to talk over me and the conversation disintegrated into the following examples:

The staffer told me that we did have enough land to support 100 million new citizens--"Haven't you ever heard of Montana?" Yes, I have, I live in Idaho and we're getting Californians who are fleeing the overcrowding of their state.

I said we cannot support them fiscally either because when chain migration occurs their won't be enough jobs. He then stepped in it. He said "Ma'am, we have the lowest unemployment ever, 4.4%." I said exactly, so all these family members will have to be on public assistance and you and your children will be broke paying for it. He said he'd gladly give his paycheck for these poor people. (What a guy!)

I know a few influential people in Missoula and others who know half of Missoula, and I'm telling them to watch out: Teddy has big plans to put the illegals in their state when they get amnesty and I'm encouraging them to call Teddy's office and say "not in our state you don't".

Kennedy's not going to change his position so I thought I'd at least create a little mischief for him.

I've also armed them with info on CIR

You Go Olivermyboy!!!

The more mischief the better! We need an alarm bell going off!!

I think this little staffer has only been exposed to the rarified air in the Capitol. His primary contacts on this issue are probably the LaRaza sponsored staffers that are teaming in every office on the Hill.
I would like to see this little OBL move to suburbs like Manassas VA for a month or two and get down in the trenches with the "real" illegals that have taken over the town.
Keep giving them fits--- they derserve it.

He then stepped in it. He said "Ma'am, we have the lowest unemployment ever, 4.4%.

The devils in the details. The low unemployment rate means absolutely nothing when all the new jobs being created are in the low wage paying sectors such as janitoral services, construction, landscaping, tourism, food service industry, ect. You should have briefed Sen. "Chipmunk Cheeks" Kennedy's staffer on the number of middle class jobs that are being lost annually.

Many of the new jobs being created are specifically designed for uneducated illegal immigrants. Why would a construction foreman or owner hire 4 American workers when he can get 6-7 illegals for less. Furthermore, he also saves money on medical benefits and paid vacation time since he's not offering them to the illegals. The same scenario is also happening in the other low wage jobs.

MW,

I got into that with him to and he said,"That's why Senator Kennedy is pushing for an increase in the minimum wage." I actually think this is when it started to go downhill because I called him on illegals causing wage suppression in jobs where Americans would work if they were paid adequately.

But please call and state your case to those arrogant SOBS!

Oliver

He can move in for a week in my once all American town -they really have no idea what is happening in the real world...

GAG!!!!

Man, you were certainly right about the arrogance bit. Does this joker really think increasing the minimum wage by $2.00 is going to replace the $35,000-$40,000 a year manufacturing jobs (with benefits) that are continously being outsourced to Mexico, China, and other unknown parts of the world.

MW,

If you haven't called Kennedy you should, you'd have so much fun!

I had someone from Biden's office tell me he was an 'anchor baby' because his parents were first generation "legal" immigrants. I also had Larry Craig's office tell me they knew a lot about immigration and there was no such thing as 'chain migration'!

I have a sinking feeling the Senators are just as ignorant though...

These so called "jobs" created are nothing more than part-time jobs at minimum wage. This can hardly support a single person, let alone an adult with even one child.

I think the senators need to live in our world for about one month. Have to take minimum wage jobs slinging burgers, taking public transportation (because you can't pay for a car on minimum wage) every day, potentially having to take a small child to day care like that, then go home in the evening to make a meal out of hamburger (again) with something else. All the while, the electric bill (can range about $140.00 here for two people with electric heat) has to be paid, the daycare, rent and your transportation costs, all on about $7.80 an hour (that's our minimum wage).

So let's say you get full-time at this job, that's 160 hours in a month (average) at $7.80 an hour = $1248.00 before taxes are taken, let's say they take $200.00 in a month (assume you have one child). That leaves a single parents with $1048.00.

So......average basic rent on a one bedroom place would be $560.00, electric $150.00, bus pass (here in Portland Metro 2 zone pass) about $70.00 and a basic phone service $25.00, then there is daycare to consider. Now the cost is so far $805.00, not considering daycare/sitter, and still have not figured food or essentials or laundry. Not all single parents are lucky enough to be getting child support, so you have to assume that they will not. Yes, the state will help with some food, now here is how it would work.

Let's say you make this amount, not getting child support, and this is what your bills are. Now say you are having to pay about $400.00 a month in child care. The state's all have food stamp calculators, so it figured this hypothetical person making Oregons minimum wage, paying full rent and utility, as well as child care, they said they only allowed $175.00 in a reduction for your child care cost's, so the rest is not figured to your benefit. This calculator allowed food help of $191.00 a month for two people.

Now how does Kennedy, or any of these brainless a--whipes think a single parent can survive like this? When there is not enough good paying jobs to go around, this is what life would, and is like for millions of Americans. And they say there is enough jobs? Yeah, as long as you can live 8 people to an apartment to share the cost's and trade child care shifts. Otherwise it is near impossible to survive.
