Seems to me to be nothing more than a lot of opinion presented as
facts.
;-)

The facts that we rank no higher than 20th in infant survival (no

smart
remarks
about abortion), that our kids are only slightly better immunized

than
those in
Botswana, and that life expectancy for both men and women is lower

here
than in
most industrialized nations aren't "opinions." but rather

statistics.

We do have the finest health care money can buy, if you are in the
decreasing
percentage of the population with money enough to buy it. But why

not?
Why
shouldn't the average cough-and-sniffles pediatrician haul in

$250,000
salary a
year
and actual "miracle workers" (oncologists, brain surgeons, etc)

over
7-figures?
Our system is becoming one of the super-elite catering to the
super-elite.
It's
the middle class that gets screwed the worst- the dirt poor will

be
taken
care
of by the state, the very rich get decent health care as a company

perk,
and
the middle class guy earning $1250 a week is hammered for 20% of

his
pre-tax
income to pay for a family's health insurance.

Blame the legal system for allowing multi million dollar

settlements,
causing insurance rates for doctors and for families to skyrocket.

Fix that problem first.



You WON'T fix that problem anytime soon. Meanwhile, the real reason

you
object to universal health care is that it fits your 6th grade

understanding
of socialism.



Dennis never completed the 6th grade...

Most enter legally as our Federal Gov't has a policy to attract approx. 200k

Chuck, within three blocks of my house are six houses which have been
purchased
by Mexican families, extended families! In each yard and driveway are from
six
to nine automobiles and/or pickups. The house next to me sold for $549,000
last
month. With four or five family groups (or singles) putting their incomes
(welfare checks?) toward the mortgage, they can qualify for a loan.

I don't need sorrow.


You should thank your lucky stars you've got some industrious new Hispanic
neighbors.

When I was in the used car business, I always did a certain amount of "buy
here, pay here" transactions. I took a chance on a few hundred BHPH people over
the years, and probably half of them bit me in the butt as a result. I've
chased cars in the middle of the night, hired OOS repo companies, and I
narrowly escaped with my life on one memorable repo.

I did this kind of business because the other half of the BHPH customers, (the
ones that didn't wind up getting impounded outside a Jr. High School with a
trunk load
of dope......yeah, really) used the opportunity to make something out of their
lives. Put a guy in a reaonably reliable old beater, and he can get to work 5-6
days a week. A struggling single mom can get the
kids into after school activities if they don't have to ride the school
bus....etc.

I had a number of customers eventually "graduate" to a point where their credit
allowed them to get a loan from a real bank, instead of Foolish Gould's High
Risk
Portfolio. At least one family qualified for a home mortgage, and they took the
time to drop by the lot and thank me for giving them a chance to start their
credit when nobody else would touch them.

I only mention this because, even though I
am absolutely against racial stereotyping, my Hispanic customers were the least
hassle of anybody. (Worst? Young single white men.)

If your new neighbors are anything at all like the Hispanics I have met over
the years, they are one of the few immigrant groups who aspire to the
"traditional" American dream. They want to assimilate and be American. Yes, the
first generation will speak Spanish, but they will take pride in how well their
kids speak English.

Most of the Hispanics I have dealt with over the years are willing to work hard
and earn their keep. They take pride in providing for their families and paying
bills on time. (It's a sort of "macho" thing, in a way). We white folks, (I am
presuming, based on previous comments you have made that you are white), tend
to look at people who immigrated here from Europe and say "Look, there goes a
good American!" In another generation, some of the "best" Americans will be
from Asia and Latin America. Count on it. Many of the folks from those cultural
backgrounds are just plain willing to outwork and outsave the rest of us.

And lastly, see if you can figure out who is making mortgage loans for 1/2
million dollar homes to welfare recipients. I seriously doubt that any of your
local banks are doing that. (Bank loans are subject to regulatory
audit....nobody is going to approve making a RE loan to a loosely assembled
group of welfare recipients). If you *should* find a local bank making half
million dollar mortgage loans to people on welfare, either borrow as much as
you can as fast as you can from them or get every last dime of your money
transferred somewhere else. :-)

Spelling not withstanding, what you DON'T understand is the fact that
we allow these aliens here purely to exploit them. They work here,
they spend here, they pay taxes here. They should be entitled to the

An acquaintance's cousin bought a double house. Her mom lives in the other
half. The mom's in her 60s and a workholic. She loves being busy. The
younger woman is in her 40s, with a 16 yr old son. For reasons nobody in the
family understands, the younger woman doesn't have a job. She smart and
healthy. She's been living on government assistance for the past 3 years. I
think it deserves looking into before any more of her kind come here from
their homeland. Her dad's Polish and her mom's Irish.

Any more knucklehead generalizations?

You should introduce yourself to these Mexicans...I'll bet they all work

I have to side with Harry on this one. The Mexicans (and other hispanic

the hardest-working and most-reliable people you can do business with. They
also work in a variety of outdoor jobs that would send most gringos to the

They were in the drywall business before, but are now getting into new-home

million dollar homes to welfare recipients. I seriously doubt that any of your
local banks are doing that. (Bank loans are subject to regulatory
audit....nobody is going to approve making a RE loan to a loosely assembled
group of welfare recipients). If you *should* find a local bank making half
million dollar mortgage loans to people on welfare, either borrow as much as
you can as fast as you can from them or get every last dime of your money
transferred somewhere else. :-)


I know a few things about the mortgage business.

Apart from qualifying from a creditowrthiness standpoint, "group ownership"
won't make it past any underwriter.

While it is not all that hard to finance real estate to 100% of its value, doing
so on a welfare check is just not going to happen. To buy the aforementioned
$549,000 house, a borrower would have to document $8,500 per month in
income--assuming that individual carried no other debt.

And lastly, see if you can figure out who is making mortgage loans for 1/2
million dollar homes to welfare recipients. I seriously doubt that any of your

Well, no one says John Herring knows anything more about mortgage
financing than he knows about anything else. The hard-working Mexicans
down the street probably look with disdain at Herring, his whitebread
family, and the little sign on the front lawn that says "Whites Only."

Not this case Bertie...more like a 'public service'.

Naples has pretty strict and well-enforced ordinances against cars

parked

yards, and too many people living in one single-family residence. I

guess
that's why I don't see what you see as often as you see it.

We have strict rental property ordinances as well. Perhaps you need to
address this with your county commissioners?


Isn't that Jim Dandy.....keeps those pesky foreigners at bay! No dirtying

your nice tidy little city.



Called zoning. Keeps those pesky capitolists from building a chemical plant
next door to your house. Oh, that's right. You are in Canada, they let you
build anything you want, anywhere.

Quick! Send some overcoats to Hell. I believe it just froze over. We can

(welfare checks?) toward the mortgage, they can qualify for a loan.


Have you considered running for public office? :-)

We always said that if we could get Dr. No away from his questionable

some hope for him.

That's what happens when so few people decide to move to a country that only
3 people occupy every square kilometer.
