Yeah, those stinkin' ungrateful American wretches, expecting fair
compensation for blue collar hard labor while, you GET fair
compensation for whatever it is you do.

I once worked in the swimming pool biz and busted my chops 6 days a
week, 12-16 hrs day. Jack hammering, shoveling, sweating in 100+
degree temps, covered in gunite dust till I was black with it. But, I
got paid good for it. That was when pools cost $8-15K. Now, you pay
$50-100K for the same pool and the illegals are still getting what I
made 30 yrs ago, but you don't mind cuz you don't wanna pay more money
to "Americans", even if YOUR pay scale kept pace.

I hope you get hit by a gunite truck driven by illegals.

Dang, Bob. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. Through life, I
have always negotiated. I never worked for anyone, nor had anyone work for
me without everything being agreed to in front. I took advantage of no one.

BTW, when I work, I get $85 an hour.
