They have proved to be too smart for Americans. When they offered their services to run the container section of some of the US ports, the Zionists and neocons in the Congress and the Senate were were all up against them. Why are they quiet now? I am wondering if Americans also know that Abu Dhabi, a Dubai sister state, is in charge of security arrangments over the USA "navy base" in the UAE? These are the same UAEs who were labeled terrorists and therefore not fit to run "our ports." We have to congratulate the people of Dubai. They have proved to be too smart for Americans.

On the flip side, this is accounting 101. Companies will always move to places that provide better business environments. It is a big reason to limit taxes unless you want business to move away. Check Out Sioux Falls, SD. Citibank moved there as well as many other companies because it is tax free. The idea of raising taxes is great in theory until you realize companies are free the move away from those taxes. It is very important to keep taxes as low as possible to keep these companies around. They can employ thousands of tax paying Americans and are the #1 reason America is great. Hopefull the Dems will learn a valuable lesson from this. You create an environment that is unfriendly and expensive for business and they leave. UP
