More capitalism at work.

Nothing beats Iran-Contra though, unless it's Haliburton, KBR, Blackwater, or one of those shady deals.

Simply unbelieveable.

I wonder how many upon reading this will still not be able to put 2 + 2 together to see what is happening here?

Why so shocked?

Even Janet's and Obama's plan for amnesty calls for fines and taxes for illegals already here.

That's basicly saying pay us money and you can become a citizen.

That has been around for a long time you have to invest $1 million and employ a certain number of people I believe.

The recently created 'zone' in Wisconsin is what caught my attention. Why a specific 'zone?'

I am not shocked at all. Obama does not even like America. Why should he respect it's citizens?

Probably for tax reasons..maybe they get a free ride and pay no taxes.

So if you read that article and think on it..China does own us.
They are buying our real estate, send their kids to school over here and have us in a corner with trade. China is also going to dabble with oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

And China has the money to exert this power. We are broke and fighting a war that cannot be won.
