My parents were first generation immigrants. They lived paycheck to paycheck for the first 10 years of my life. We had six people in a two bedroom apartment.

Cadillac had A LOT of firsts. Makes me sad to think of how far they've fallen.

If you have a problem with the tax code that’s one thing... they are not breaking it... they are following it.

He was not but he also pays his employees wages not equivalent with the output and share value they produce for him. You can be a vampire even if you started out in a hut instead of a castle.

CTEC just kicked in, yo!

“Which socialist country has an immigration problem?” Pretty much all of them. Oh, I expect you’ll try to weasel around the definition of “socialist” as much as possible.
