Joe vs. Jose

Filed under The Political Cesspool, Uncategorized

You have two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California.

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.

Ready? Now pay attention…

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax and Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes.

Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year.

Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

The End of the “Culture War”

Filed under The Political Cesspool, Uncategorized

The High Court has spoken; the 30-year “Culture War” is officially over.

Technically speaking, the Supreme Court’s ruling on the unconstitutionality of denying federal benefits to same-sex married couples isn’t quite so all-encompassing. Symbolically, however, the meaning of the decision is clear enough.

It’s important to recognize the manner in which this victory/defeat has taken place. For at least a century, the Marxian Left (in various phases) has taken up the charge of abolishing marriage. The traditional family was, depending on the time and place, the last bastion of Christian mystification, capitalism, sexism, patriarchy, racism, homophobia, meat-eating, und so weiter. . .

For a retro-leftist, the idea of “gay marriage” is as subversive and ridiculous as it is for a traditionalist: “gay marriage” would mean bringing homosexuals into the oppressive, bourgeois tyranny of monogamy!
