I think you missed one important point:  I LIVE outside of the US, but I do business there and have responsibility for a lot of assets there.  Got to sprint and do some more of that capitalist pig stuff.  Later.

 

Doesn't matter...if the U.S. is the center of your business universe, then you will dance to American music.

Hating how the U.S. system works while benefiting at the same time is also a buzz kill for credibility.

Economics trumps Virtue.

No they didn't, and comparisons to Canada are superficial at best.  Canada's lack of productivity goes way back to domestic choices and limited domestic capital, with a very high reliance on foreign investment and ownership.

American taxpayers actually made money from the 2008 "crisis" according to this guy....

Total bullshit. But that's expected from you.

The taxpayers PAID for it, they did not make money off it.  Only the banks and traders did.

No, the US is not the center of my business universe, it is simply one place where we have a few companies.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I am not in business to earn street creds on the internet.

BTW: I keep one business going, in spite of heavy losses - simply because our employees would lose their sick care coverage if we were to shut it down.   It is not exactly the place to be on Main Street these days.
