You are kidding yourself if you think all (or even most) businessmen are right wing Republicans. Just look at all the businessmen who contributed to the Obama campaign. If the Democrats truly cared anything about the little guy, they would stop the illegals from driving down wages at the lower end of the income scale in this country. But all they really care about is political power.Michelle Malkin...!!! oh well letting your source of facts (watch Fox news much?) pass, the reality is the big movers in the Construction and hospitality industries brought the Mexican workers in to to counter wage pressure from people that need a decent income....Now these same right wing Republicans are pretending they want the Mexicans to leave.It's all a show man...the big players have no intention of cutting off the supply of cheap labor.
I don't get your comment Jerry about "Foothills" types enter the "great city". If you're talking the great city of Penasco, we go twice a month. If you're talking about Tucson, there isn't a lot of reason to go downtown- unless I need government business. The city council has run every other business out of town with their decisions. I heard at one time the South Park group was going to do a show on Tucson, and the catch phrase was "Tucson, Where dreams go to die". That pretty much sums up what's happened to Tucson since we've lived here- 30 years, with all the businesses and sports teams leaving- IBM, Sidewinders, Rockies, etc. Enough said, but that's for another thread.
Jerry, let's not get into a p.ssing contest. I just thought before you paint everyone with broad brush strokes, you should think before you type. I'm glad Walkup gave a thumbs up for Penasco. The other discussion, like I said before, is for another thread.
You were the first to make the nasty comment about "Foothills types" before I mentioned City Council. Moving on- getting ready to go to Penasco for the weekend.
