in my opinion based solely on years of anecdotal and personal
experience, there is a significant under-the-table economy among

the middle class self-employed work force.

Um, is that yet another PC term for illegal aliens?

Lawdy, lawdy, how come a self-aggrandizing little **** like Cesar Chavez
could not only say "wetback," but use it to refer to illegals and even
have a large group assembled to "Stop the Wetbacks!" way back when and
still get hugged by every silly-assed white hippie-dippie pseudoliberal
around, and if _anyone_ says it now, those same folks have a coronary?
