As such, while my 2:47AM post after a night of fishing was grossly over exaggerated. yes it was
That letting people immigrate here with the mindset "maybe they'll live in squander with 10 other people to save up and start a successful business" is horribly misguided. who suggested that anyone is "letting" anyone immigrate here with that horribly misguided mindset?...I'm guessing most would just like some kind of stable employment, starting a business is a LONG way from basic employment....that would be a funny sign at the border though..."IF YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST COME HERE AND LIVE IN "SQUANDER" WITH 10 OTHER PEOPLE AND SAVE UP TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS...YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING "
. America is neither the worlds Police Force, nor its Welfare department. currently it is both
MANY BUSINESSES CLOSE FOR MANY REASONS AND NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE THEY "FAILED"

What kind of conservative are you?
With regards to the 10 people living in squander comment I made, if you had actually read the whole thread as opposed to trying to pick a fight, Joe mentioned that some immigrants live 10 to an apartment to save up the money to start a business.
I challenge anyone to demonstrate a situation where 10 people living in an apartment is not living in squander.
The minute the US customs says welcome to America to a non-citizen here for an extended stay, they're potentially "letting" someone immigrate here. My position is that they shouldn't unless it's for good reason and they can contribute to society.
I still stand that America *is not* the worlds Police Force or Welfare Agency. The problem is that many think it should be - like those that think we should get involved with Iran, send Aid to Africa or any number of international issues we get involved with more than any other country does.
Yes, businesses do close for many reasons, but the number one reason is because they could no longer sustain themselves - ie: They Failed.

I don't think it's possible to live in "squander" and save money at the same time...

you said that "the number one reason" was a result of "failure"...based on your recent record of exaggeration I assumed that to be around 99%...I won't ask how big the fish was that you caught last night....

Oh I see. The Glen Beck method of debate.
The number one cause of death in America is heart disease. I guess that means 99% of people die of heart disease?

If you keep selectively deleting the parts of a quote that you don't like, no one is going to believe anything that you say.
You're actually the one that's made crazy statements. See your last 3 posts as a reference.
