No, what makes it a tax is the government mandate to pay it. Taxes go to both government and employees. Quit with the fake 6 person company.

True, just wish the Republicans had been able to see through the complete BS of Trump and nominated someone who could actually unite, understand what they are talking about and have some ability to get things done. Instead they just found the most opposite person to Obama in every way. A guy who's only perceived agenda is to wipe Obama and anything he touched off the boards. All because Obama told it like it is in regards to Trump . . . and oh yeah, made fun of him at that correspondents dinner, that was hilarious!
The landlord. Listen, my company is real, I was fortunate to be trained in a lucrative field and decided I could make more on my own than working elsewhere.

Why would you ask that? I am the only gringo in my crew 8 right now (3 are from the valley). There are lots of hispanic, Spanish speaking families in SoCal . . . you need to get out more often.

I didn't. It was from AEI so I assumed that it was good. It is a summarized version of John Cochranes more comprehensive .pdf on the subject that I posted but you obvi never read. Another podcast you might like:

Most of the commercial buildings I have serviced have the tenant pay for basic maintenance, but your landlord may be different.
What do you figure your rent would be if the guy who trims the bushes, or cleans the office at night, made a starting salary of 65,000?
Is it safe to assume, you dont have anyone on your payroll who is in the "unskilled labor" category?
I became team manager as my boys got older, so I had the folder full of birth certificates in my care. We always had at least a couple born in Mexico, plus, over the years, others born in England, France, Israel, Iceland, Japan and China.

He, as he has been told to, sees wages as unnecessary burdens on employers, hence "taxes" in his cultures parlance. The, "eliminate the minimum wage" people think that would cure all our problems, or so they are told.
I understand that, but most of them are American.
We all have the same "native tongue", unless they are first generation.

Read mine first, then make your Lord almighty assessment of it . . . or are you pulling a Pelosi?
Always a couple, sounds about right.
On my daughter's HS team, there was one, although 90% of the team has Mexican heritage.

90% of job sites work in Spanish now, just a fact.
The lowest paid are clerical. One is a mom so she works from home 2 days per week. My rent would be a lot higher, but if I'm rich enough to be a building-owning landlord, I should surely pay a fair amount to the companies or workers that maintain the premises. Cesar Chavez fought those wars for the farm workers, didn't he?

. . . and no, we have 3 from Mexicali (no English whatsoever), two from TJ (passable English), 1 from deep mainland Mexico (again passable English) and my boss from Lemon Grove (2nd generation, passable Spanish).
This is why metered immigration and assimilation is important.
Green cards or citizens?

From my perspective it is I who needs to assimilate to them, they are the majority in my world.
I am not such a lib when it comes to assimilation, however. I believe that's a necessity. Multi-racial, multi-national, multi-sexual...all cool...but I believe we should share a common American culture and language (but excluding Guy Fieri's food). The Swiss model is actually kind of interesting, where you have to bring friends and neighbors and other school parents to the hearing to show that you're assimilating with the Swiss, if you want to stick around.

. . . and oh yeah me, gringo no nabla, well, muy pequito . . . but I got the certs and training none of them have.
Your boss is an American.
Its up to him, if he wants his employees to assimilate on the job.
I have seen too many workers kept from learning the language of our country through the same derogatory system.
I have a guy who works for me who has been here for thirty years, and nobody ever spoke English with him on the job.
He's finally learning.
