In Reply to: Question about the qaulity of today's workers posted by JD Seller on August 03, 2014 at 08:26:24:

I couldn't agree more on both the outlook of the younger generation on working, and the work ethic of the illegals.

Funny thing I've heard a couple of business owners I know say they will never hire a white kid again as they aren't worth a crap. Instead they'd rather hire an immigrant (legal or not) and actually get the job done and be able to make a profit for themselves after paying the guys a fair wage. One guy even offers a really good starting wage, then a raise at three months, another at 6 months, and then offers a weeks vacation at a year. He's been in business for quite a while and has never had to give the first raise, but gets complaints all the time about not paying enough, the work being too hard, and the fact they don't get enough days off......

The only problem I see with the illegals is that they are taking jobs that real Americans could be doing. The thing is most of those jobs are ones that the current crop of "real Americans" don't want to do. Funny thing though, the folks here legally hate the illegals. Like one of my customers says, he comes from Peru, and is here legally. He pays his taxes, insurance, etc just like everyone should, but is still expected to work for nothing because he's Hispanic and people think he's from Mexico. Basically don't pay taxes and you can work cheap, pay taxes out the a$$ and you have to charge more just to turn a profit.

That being said, a lot of the problems with things nowdays are with the way our government handles things. Free money to slackers, tax the pants off the working man to give to the slackers, tax the big companies until they move overseas and cut jobs here, and on, and on.......Then they teach our kids that they don't rrally need to use their heads, just their computers, and we have a huge problem coming up with a generation that actually has any common sense.....Then they are told that they are ALL equal, and deserve this or that, that everyone is a winner, and all that other happy horse crap, and it just gets worse. Granted that's all a bit of an over simplification, but all you have to do is look around to see the picture as clear as day in the current crop of workers......

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
