A joke I just heard today. Why do they call it "manual labor"?. Answer: Only Manuel and his buddies are doing the labor.
He only have to pay for the social security if the amount is greater than a certain number, $1500 if I remembered correctly. Also if the people he hired works for a landscaping company then he has no worries at all. But I am sure you knew about these already.
i share the same sketicism he is the same self-serving mofo that coerced an elder woman ( a Katrina victim) to walk up & down the stairs a second time just so that Geraldo's camera-man can get a shot of Geraldo "supposedly" helping the elder woman walk down the stairs.
