Financial planning 101 for our elected officials - This course should be compulsory!!!You have 2 families... " Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live inCalifornia ." Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted."Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".Joe Legal.. $25..00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week = $52,000 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.Jose Illegal... $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week = $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes.

Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program which, again, is provided free of charge.Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe Legal paid for them and Jose Illegal did not pay.ARE YOU MAD YET?!?!?!You should be!!!Pass this along to all the Blue and White collar Americans that are struggling from paycheck to paycheck to provide for their families.This is an outrage that HAS to be addressed.THIS is the time to get things started.We are poised on the brink of oblivion and it will take nothing short of an avalanche to get the bureaucrats to take action.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. ......Abraham Lincoln
