Guys like Ted Kanavas--an IT sort--should be puking when they read this.
Romney wants to "grow our economy by growing legal immigration," according to a campaign fact sheet. He would raise caps on high-skilled immigrant visas. He would also streamline the temporary worker visa process; Expedite family reuinfication; Create a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who serve honorably in the military; Balance this with a fairly strong illegal immigration policy including e-verify, better safeguards for people overstaying visas, and completing the border fence...
It has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that the "high-skilled" immigrants are extremely few and far between. What Romney did (naturally) is fellate the IT contractors who pay inferior wages to not-so-bright IT programmers. This has an effect: US citizens are tossed aside after they reach the age of 40 (old, ya know).
Same sorta crap with "research" types--except the effect there is to discourage US citizens from obtaining Ph.D.'s because they'll never, ever, find a job which will pay enough to liquidate their college debt AND provide basic housing, food, etc.
"Family reunification"? You mean more chain immigration, Mitt?
As to the rest: not necessarily awful.
Why vote for this A$$hole?
ReplyDeleteNo different than Obama.
One is a slow road to hell the other is the fast way.
A vote for the lesser of two evils is still evil.
and by the way, I'm willing to bet he will turn on us on the abortion issue.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!
ReplyDeleteI smell a freeloading non tax paying General Electric getting ready to suck at the tit of BIG Govment and the taxpayer getting bent over again!
Can you say...
" GE brings good things to life!"
Rombama, surely.
ReplyDeleteBut let's set the record straight, shall we?
Good ol' Ted Kanavas.
Ted Kanavas Gatsby.
BroadBand Deployment Act:
Legislation passed, sponsored by Kanavas, that allowed providers to lay broadband at a discount (picked up by the taxpayers) and then turn around and charge full price (READ: overpriced) to customers AND receive government subsidy "doles" for providing WWW to rural poor; in this latter case, the providers "double-dipping" into the supposed bottomless tax money "barrel" both for tax credits and tax subsidies; ALL THE WHILE, mind you, having NO METRICS in place to measure what Kanavas states, and I quote,:
"...broadband is a 21st century infrastructure that is vitally important for positive economic growth...";
Proof? Business case?
"...the BroadBand Deployment Act is a step in the right direction for our state, and it makes a statement to the business community that Wisconsin is serious about economic growth...";
Oh, really?
Where? What economic growth? Tell this to the unemployed...
The BroadBand Deployment Act provided $7.5 million in a combination of tax credits and exemptions for providers plus ad infinitum tangential tax subsidies after installed.
"...if Wisconsin wants to attract and retain businesses, access to broadband services and applications are going to have to be part of the equation...";
Proof? What equation was that, Ted? What algorithm was in place at the time to attract and retain businesses to/in Wisconsin? ...YOU POLITICIAN BULLSHITTER!
What businesses came to Wisconsin AND settled in low population poor rural areas because suddenly those low population poor rural areas had broadband?
Someone tell me...NAME ONE BUSINESS! PLEASE!!! ...THIS IS NOT A PUPPY LOVE, DONNY.....
To this day, no measurable metrics exist to prove this money garnered anything at all, especially economic growth. Ah, but more poor are getting FREE broadband on the taxpayer "nickel". Among the taxpayers "picking up the tab"? The unemployed taxpayers who still must "cough up" taxes. By the by, Kanavas was "known" for his efforts to promote, cough cough ahem, job creation.
What jobs, Ted? What jobs have you created in Wisconsin for the unemployed through your sponsored legislation so that you could then re-tax them through your sponsored legislation? The unemployed are still unemployed...and still "on the hook" for paying for your legislation.
Ted Kanavas Gatsby.
Good ol' Ted Kanavas.
The Angel Investment tax credits (known as Act 255):
Legislation passed, sponsored by Kanavas. Once again, tax credits given out WITH NOT A ONE METRIC IN PLACE to this day to measure how this program accomplished anything...except for putting taxpayers "on the hook" for subsidies to private "angels".
Ted Kanavas Gatsby.
Good ol' Ted Kanavas.
His Film Wisconsin tax credit bill:
Legislation passed, sponsored by Kanavas. Now THERE'S legislation that we needed AND paid off handsomely...for Johnny Depp, et. al.
Ted Kanavas Gatsby.
Good ol' USELESS Ted Kanavas.
Another RINO.
An IT "silver spooner" from the Kanavas family.
Don'cha know? It's all monopoly money...it ain't real...to the "haves", anyways.
Surprise, surprise. Kanavas worked for Sensenbrenner...two completely useless peas in their sheltered-from-reality pods.

Jim Sensenbrenner Gatsby.
The powers that be do not care if Romney wins or not, only that policy consensus is preserved–cheap labor for big corporations, Republican thinking, and social service clients for the Democrats. Screw the unemployed college graduate with a degree to pay off.
ReplyDeleteAny sign that Romney understands the politics involved–that he might be remotely classically trained/educated, are dispersed.
Assume the position.
Just imagine the construction costs on Mitt's $10mm upgrade to his La Jolla beach house without the cheap Mexican labor flowing north out of Baja...
ReplyDelete"What businesses came to Wisconsin AND settled in low population poor rural areas because suddenly those low population poor rural areas had broadband?"
ReplyDeleteKanavas' bill helped to spur this development.

Looks like St. Revolution will be eating crow.
The Fortune multinational Corporations employ project managers and then they outsource the tech support and development to suppliers based offshore - mostly to India, but with a growing contingent in China. Although China is going slower than expected because the language barrier really is that big. They will bring some folks over here for big projects, but then they send them back because they don't have to pay the extra stipend for the US cost of living. So in effect, you don't need more visas, we keep them in India anyway.

ReplyDeleteWhat crow, you stupid fucker?!
Once again, the only thing you proved is how completely stupid, assinine, and devoid of logic and reason you are.
Not to mention your completely lazy and slothful research "skills".
Do you ever read my posts, mushskull?!
Do you even read your own posts and linked articles, crapcranium?!
Your article is dated August 04, 2010...smack dab in the middle of The Great Engineered Recession.
~$65MM in American Recovery And Reinvestment Act stimulus money is NOT development. It is a handout to parasites.
It is part of the COMPLETELY COMPLETELY FAILED stimulus package.
Again, COMPLETELY FAILED! Band aid "shove-it-ready" projects to simply hand parasites like you, Ann, free salaries with no add to GDP whatsoever and to hand over free taxpayer monies to government cronies.
American Recovery And Reinvestment Act stimulus money and Ann...two complete failures.
In your cited article, there is NOTHING RE: metrics nor monitoring the programs these dollars are wasted on. THERE IS NO PROOF ANYWHERE IN YOUR WOE-BEGOTTEN BULLSHIT THAT PROVES THAT ANY OF THIS DEVELOPMENT STIMULATED ANYTHING IN WISCONSIN BUT SEVERE ANGER AMONG TAXPAYERS-IN-THE-KNOW (alas, a gross minority...).
All your article pukes is:
---TDS received free taxpayer doleouts,
---more government parasites received free broadband,
---taxpayers were FORCED to pick up the tab.
Oh, and...
excerpt:
"...will help nearly 2,000 households and businesses check e-mail, download photos and documents, and surf the Internet more quickly..."...
Oh gosh and golly...must get those personal photos and personal eMails more quickly...THAT will stimulate the economy.
I'll repeat: NO PROOFS, NO METRICS, NO PROGRAMS FOLLOWUPS, NO CAUSE/EFFECTS STUDIES, NO BUSINESS CASES STUDIES, NO DEVELOPMENT, NO ECONOMIC STIMULATION...NOTHING BUT HAND 'EM THE DOUGH.
Once again, you fucking douchebag Ann, I'm right and you're wrong.
Go suck some hemlock, you useless fucker.
