Well I agree with ya Arthur, the US cant have it both ways. But Id be very careful calling it exploitative labor. Quite frankly, they are here for a reason, we do not kidnap them and make them work for their money. And, truth be told, many places do pay them pretty well for the jobs they do, and the quality of the job.
I’m in the trades and I see it everyday and it drives me crazy. Its not because of some deep hatred or racism inside of me, but because I see these hard working guys, that with a little more education, could become excellent tradesmen and citizens. But, that would entail someone wanting to become a full fledged citizen, and a government not allowing them to stay second rate. It is, quite frankly, a really screwed up situation.
Tax evasion? Its only tax evasion when you intentionally break the law, not when you abide by the rules set forth by the same idiots who scream they don’t have enough, after you’ve paid. (They (IRS/US FEDS) may not agree with me, but those who judge cant cry when they don’t get what they want, or think they should have, because the law allowed me to do just what I did.)
Anyways, back on topic. This is pretty troublesome, I guess it could go only 1 or 2 ways. Either most F-15Cs are retired with no replacements whatsoever. Or, this is just some political ploy to buy more F-22s because of an “intentional” shortage of capability, after all, that would get votes in certain members districts.
Yes, call me a cynic.
