If they can pay a worker $30k, even though they do more work than the guy making $100k, they're not going to just give them a raise.

American workers' production has gone steadily up, yet rates for the average worker have not kept up.
And illegal aliens also drive down the wages of Americans. But the mantra some spout is that illegals do the work Americans wont do. Partially correct. At that WAGE level. Here is a real life example of it in practice. We have a place in Hilton Head. We hired a family dry wall business (African American guy and his son) who had a thriving enterprise going (700k per year) and 10 employees. They hired a few illegal aliens. Two years later, the illegals left the company and started a competing business. Charged lower prices,paid no taxes. The American business shrunk to 60k in sales, with just the dad and son left.

Smokes 10 or less a day

He said Monday that he has never smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day, and usually only four or five. He said the number usually went up when he was either writing or campaigning. So he's been a smoker nearly 30 years.

I have no problem with a guy who puffs; its the hypocrisy of his handlers in trying to fool the American public. You always see clips of him playing hoops (implying a healthy lifestyle). That's called perpetuating a fraud.
Maybe he didn't inhale...

Lets see. 7.5 cigs a day for 29 years. Thats about 80,000 cigs over his adult life. I sure hope for his sake he didnt inhale.
