>> what i was trying to say is that a lot of people will not invest in this country unless they perceive they are getting something back - and the finger doesn't count ;-) sure, some folks would still invest. others wouldn't and total investment would be down. << you don't get it. we are the ones who are getting the finger from the rest of the world. this is the problem with our country. all i hear from people like you is how we need to keep from stepping on others toes. never do i hear you putting america's interests first. same with buschman. he loves to go on and on about humanity or mankind, but never does he defend america's interests first. >> my point was fewer dollars would flow to the usUS b/c other folks in other countries wouldn't be happy when we screw their interests in light of our own.<< so in other words in an effort to pander to the rest of the world we should screw our own citizens. obviously you are more interested in not upsetting the world and are willing to sacrifice the interests of americans to do it. you also need to get over this notion that for america to stand up for herself means we have to trample on others. not so. maintaining or preserving our sovereignty does not have to entail taking it from someone else.
