You might have heard about it, read about it, thought about it and got frustrated if you were on a H1B … well I did and there was a short conversation between 'Inquisitive me' and 'Reasonable me'
Inquisitive me: Where does the government get such amounts of money, $900 billion?
Reasonable me: it gets money by taxing people.
Inquisitive me: So the $900 billion which the government wants to induce in to the market is the Tax payer’s money… wait a minute that means it’s my money too.
Reasonable me: Of course
Inquisitive me: Oh so now they want to take my money to put into a company I may want to work with... sounds good, the company may do well to start hiring and I can apply too....
Reasonable me: oh ho ho NOOOOOO! I am a H1B worker and they don't want to allow me
Inquisitive me: Don’t allow me… Don’t allow me to work for a company, whose survival fund includes my contribution?
Reasonable me: Doesn't that sound like some peace of disturbing proposal.
Inquisitive me: When they don't filter the customers of the company and they don't filter the tax payer’s money why do they want to filter the employees????
hey bro coool post the amendment look very bleak for you guys but not for us !!!!!!!!!!!, but any way it is a very bad idea to stop hiring h1b what did we do all of a sudden ,when the wanted profits they kept on hiring , now when the country falls into ressesion the blame us ,and but a 60,000 H1 a very does not bring a country in to ressesion.
