Taxpayers not getting the whole story

The Morehead News

July 6, 2012 — The editor:

The television news was telling that the leaders in Washington had created over 200,000 jobs last year.

What they are not telling you, the taxpayers, is that they have let over one million legal and illegal immigrants into the United States to fight over those jobs, and they can work cheaper because they don’t pay taxes.

While the tax payers are struggling to feed their families and pay their taxes, the immigrant gets the jobs (and the elevator) and the taxpayer gets (the shaft).
