Republican House Speaker Offers To Trade 'Lazy Missourians' For Mexicans

[chat_noir]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- House Speaker Rod Jetton on Friday stood behind his offer to trade "lazy Missourians" for hardworking Mexican citizens.

Jetton, a Republican from Marble Hill, first made the suggestion earlier this month at a Republican Party gathering in Springfield. He repeated it Thursday when asked about it at The Associated Press and Missouri Press Association Day at the Capitol.

I think there are some lazy Missourians in this state who really don't want to work, and I think there's a lot of hardworking Mexicans who would love to come up here and make a little money to support their families," he said. "And by golly, if we could find a way to trade them, I would trade them in a heartbeat."

Jetton said he's taken some criticism for such comments, but that others have told him he's right. He said there are too many Missourians who would rather enroll in government programs than earn a wage.

3. ADVERSITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS IDEAS

And If people would gain some self-respect and some gumption to get off their butts, at least 8 hours a day. Then maybe the welfare and medicaid dollars, could be utilized for their intended use. To give a Helping Hand to Families who have experienced hardships which include illness, resulting job loss, loss of family home,with no place to live. Tough, life changing events. These people only need or want a "helping hand,"from we the people,the Tax-payers, to get "Back on his Feet."
That is what the this Whole Program was intended for, it was NOT intended to prop people up, whom choose not to work, because work is too hard! It's these people whom make the decision to live off the sweat and tears of others, who work for a living, those who rise early everyday, no matter how they feel, no matter what is going on in their personal life, because they have a Family that depend on them. Sometimes must work two jobs to make ends meet, but they will do what they need too.. They do this not for praise, not for awards, but just because their self-respect would not allow them to ask someone else, to take care of their families, pay all household expenses,car-payment and all those other bills that will come up including TUESDAY FAMILY NIGHT AT THE RED LOBSTER! And, Oh, please don't forget the annual Family Vacation to Florida, cause we never miss it, even if the Funds are depleted, Because "the powerful rich just don't give enough of their taxes to help the poor." So I think they should have to pay much higher Taxes than they are paying now! I need more welfare money, cause I have places to go, and people to see, cause I'm impotent. Rich People shouldn't mind because they already have everything they ever wanted. well It's About time I get something that I want. Maybe a few things. I am a mightily impotent people!
