RE: [Futurework] Bush's amnesty program for illegalimmigrantworkers: Texan Trojan Horse? Or decent sensible policy?

Ray,   What is important is not who owns the Capital, but how did they get it. (By capital I mean the factories and machines – the material wealth used in production.   With some exceptions (magnified by the right) the wherewithal originated in privilege – of which landholding is the most obvious. While the Industrial Revolution was fueled by Land Rents – we now enjoy (sic) an additional 1001 privileges, which munificence is enjoyed even more by those who receive without working – and happily invest.   Devote your attention to causes and you’ll be closer to understanding.   Harry ******************************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA  91042 Tel: 818 352-4141  --  Fax: 818 353-2242 http://haledward.home.comcast.net ********************************************   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ray Evans Harrell Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 8:46 AM To: Ed Weick; Brad McCormick, Ed.D.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Bush's amnesty program for illegalimmigrantworkers: Texan Trojan Horse?

Or decent sensible policy?   It's all part of a grander vision.  In the US, working for a living is no longer as important as it once was.  Who does it matters less and less.  Crappy jobs can be done by cheap insourced labour, while expensive jobs can be outsourced overseas.  How are ordinary Americans going to make a living?  Why, by being part of Bush's "ownership society"!  They will own the capital and let others do the work.   Ed     --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
