I'm still uncertain about Amendment H, and would like to know who/what interest group proposed the legislation, and which intrest group is howling loudest about it's "negative" impact.<BR/>G. N.

There are a frightening number of issues to study this year.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many people will do the usual and drop by to see how I'm voting and get my 5 minute opinion on how they should vote. I spend hours studying for elections, and they base their decisions on my brain. I think this is why we end up so many ridiculous amendments which pass.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your opinions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1158431351946877342006-09-16T12:29:00.000-06:002006-09-16T12:29:00.000-06:00Thanks, I'll call Monday.Thanks, I'll call Monday.Julie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07953511804910482985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1158408636617852612006-09-16T06:10:00.000-06:002006-09-16T06:10:00.000-06:00I hate to say that your analysis of Referendum H i...I hate to say that your analysis of Referendum H is incorrect.<BR/><BR/>First, Referendum H prohibits deduction of expenses beyond mere wages. It include all remuneration for labor. This would include expenses for "independant contractors" and their employees. This is the old "jobber" loophole in the federal scheme for punishing employers who "hire" illegal migrants.<BR/><BR/>This provision is not "just another piece of xenophobic anti-immigrant grandstanding." Most progressives, liberals and Democrats support the proposition of punishing employers who hire illegal migrants. The Feds aren't doing it. While I would favor a state scheme that issued penalties on a strict liability basis where the employers so punished open to the public, federal law prohibits states to issuing fines to employers for hiring illegal migrants. The removal of the tax deductions for labor performed by illegal migrants is the only avenue open to the state.<BR/><BR/>Unless you support open borders or are anti-worker, I don't see how you could not support Referendum H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1158365526552082462006-09-15T18:12:00.000-06:002006-09-15T18:12:00.000-06:00Not a bad string of endorsements, if I do say so m...Not a bad string of endorsements, if I do say so myself.
