Perish the thought that people work.  What is this world coming to?  
And all because of George Bush and the Business Roundtable.

Jerry:

You just called out the lie that Ronald Reagan and Bush  1 started when 
they
mentioned looking at classified ads and seeing plenty  of jobs.

This primary, the two key Florida issues were economy and  immigration. 

Education didn't even make the top 10, and yet, the economy  and 
immigration are

intimately related to the education picture.  For the  first time, 
employers(
and not even small ones, but people representing Big  Sugar, Disney and
Wal-Mart) come out in favor of workers to pick fruits and work  in 
tourist
industry,
hospitals and retail, the jobs you are referring to.

Is this the "hope" that politicians talk about when they promise the 
rosy
future of getting  them elected?  Most immigrants I know work three to  
four
jobs.  Does their "superior" education allow them the privilege  of 
jobs "most
people cannot stand" ? What does our education motivate our  young 
people to do
?  Get an MBA, join the Alabama Guard and run a baseball  team ?  What 
a value
!!!  What compassion !!!
