KobraKarl,

I didn't save a buck. My roof cost me $31K. The roofer I used was not the lowest bid but the middle of three bids. Whether I used them or the highest bidder the laborers will still be Hispanic in this town. Like you, I also worked hard, never complained except to my wife when I got home, diligently paid taxes and insurance and in my case I was non-union so overtime did not count. Arnold rescinded the driver's license intiative for illegal aliens in Calif. but what's the big deal. Think about it. Do the illegals really want a license. Once they apply for one, they must get insurance and register their car, pay taxes and obey the law like everyone else. So why would they want that when they are doing just fine without it for free. No identity, no pay insurance, no pay tax. Wonder why there are Check Cashing businesses? Becasue they don't have a bank account. They have us who pay taxes and obey the law who covers them. We're the ones who screwed ourselves.
