A true republican businessman would convince the town to give him massive
tax breaks to grow his business. All with the promise of vast wealth being
returned to the community. Then he'd bribe a politician to expand the H1B
visa program to allow him to import slave labor barbers from India. Under
the threat of immediate deportation the barbers are forced to live in
squalor and work 20 hours a day and kick back most of their pay to their
slave master/boss. The businessman republican undercuts all other barbers
in town and soon he is the only one. He then raises his prices - double at
first then double that. He bribes his way into the local government and
gets an exclusive no-bid contract to provide haircuts to all government
workers - at a cost of 500.00 dollars per cut - all paid for by taxpayers.
The businessman gets rich then closes down his shop and leaves town taking
all the taxpayers money with him. He sets up shop in Dubai where he is able
to expatriate all his profits and never pay a nickel in taxes back to his
former country.
