SCARY FACTS...

Scary Facts.

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Statistics courtesy of U. S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Now, the above meant nothing until I did the statistics shown below on guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners!

Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do!

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN . . . but, almost everyone has at least one doctor.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat!

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of control.

Out of concern for the public at large . . . I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

Sad situation TAX DOLLARS AT WORK...

Cheap  Tomatoes?

Tomatoes  and Cheap Labor

CHEAP TOMATOES?
This should make everyone think, be you  Democrat, Republican or Independent
>From a California school  teacher - - -

"As you  listen to the news about the student protests over illegal
immigration,  there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the  English-as-a-second-language department at a
large southern California high  school which is designated a Title 1
school, meaning that its students  average lower socioeconomic
and income levels.

Most  of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell
Gardens ,  Huntington Park , etc.., where these students are
protesting, are also Title  1 schools.

Title 1  schools are on the free  breakfast and free lunch program.
When I say free breakfast, I'm not  talking a glass of milk and roll
-- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with  fruits and juices that
would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food  is monumental,
with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash  uneaten.
(OUR  TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least
moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell  phones. The
school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant
girls (some as young as 13) so they can  attend class without the
inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters  or having family
watch their kids. (OUR  TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I  was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk  losing
funding for the upcoming year even though  there was little need for
anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new
computers  for the computer learning center, half of which, one month
later, have been  carved with graffiti by the appreciative students
who obviously feel humbled  and grateful to have a free education in
America ... (OUR  TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute
teachers whose  classes consist of many illegal immigrant students
here in the country less  then 3 months who raised so much hell with
the female teachers, calling them  "Putas"(whores) and throwing
things, that the teachers were in  tears.

Free medical,  free education, free food, day care, etc., etc, etc.
Is it any wonder  they feel entitled to not only be in this country
but to demand rights,  privileges and entitlements?

(To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants
contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and
housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some  time
in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE  cost:)

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical  costs,
more crime, lower standards of education in our schools,
overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for
tomatoes.

Americans, We  need to wake up. The guest worker program will be  a
disaster  because we won't have the guts to enforce  it.  Does anyone
in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and
return?

It does,  however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world
culture that does  not value education, that accepts children getting
pregnant and dropping out  of school by 15 and that refuses to
assimilate, and an American  culture that  has become so weak and
worried about "political  correctness" that we don't have the will to
do  anything about it.

If  this makes your blood  boil,  as it did mine, forward this to
everyone you know.

CHEAP LABOR? (Isn't that  what the whole immigration issue is about?)

Business doesn't want to  pay a decent wage.

Consumers don't want  expensive produce.

Government will tell you  Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor.  The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth,
a farce,  and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take,  for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He
takes a job  for
$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he  pays no
income tax, yet at the end of  the year, if he files an Income Tax  Return

he  gets an "earned  income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He  qualifies for Section  8 housing and subsidized  rent.

He  qualifies for food  stamps..

His children  get free breakfasts and lunches at  school.

He requires  bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high  energy bills...

If they are---or become---aged, blind or disabled,  they qualify  for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they  can qualify for Medicare.    All of this
is at (our) taxpayer's  expense .

He doesn't worry about car  insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers  provide Spanish language  signs, bulletins and printed material.

He  and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour  in benefits.

Working  Americans

​ ​

are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.

The  American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and

​  

trash clean-up.

Cheap labor?  YEAH, RIGHT! Wake up people!

THESE  ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES FOR  EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS
THEY SAY, WE SHOULD  REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'
