Maybe because of the close proximity to NY (a gateway) we are prone to many avenues of investment. That said I have seen many ups and downs in our market and I can often udjust strategies. BUT when outside investors do not have to play by the same rules it is hard to compete. Where and how they get there cash (by living in a country that tolerates oppression) is a lot different than I can. I like it like that I do NOT oppress. I pay my american workers a fair wage (not wal mart wages). I am now seeing foreign money bringing in foreign labor. That i cannot compete with on a fair level.
Your questions, statements and responses @John Van Uytven
Maybe that's why, because you are close to NY. It should not matter where anyone is located in the USA. Foreign investors are creeping into everymarket.
Why don't outside investors have to play by the same rules? Great question. Where do they (foriegn investors) get there inititail cash investment monies from (even continued funds). Often other countries have different laws that favor the wealthy to the extreme. Oppression through abuse of powers is a huge issue world wide. (look at factories in Asia and other foreign countries that abuse kids, woman and mentally ill through their working conditions and education opportunities based solely on family social status). Inequality is the standard in many countries. Slave labor to which the owners reap rewards and then use those funds to invest in Americas is done all the time. So where as I am american employer that pays a fair wage and affords mandated benefits to my workers cannot save the same amount in funds because of american rules it is easy for foreigners to abuse a system.
Are you talking about the Canadians or the British? I am talking about any country outside the US. For me I have seen a lot of investors from all over. If anyone has read the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" books "Robert" often talks about the opression in his ancestrial country and how wealth is created in many other countries by corruption and surpression and why we should be greatful of american standards. Unfortunately the 1%ers and those in "Control" world wide do not see it that way. Because it is about again Control and greed.
If they are doing something illegal you should contact the authorities. Please why do you think America is in trouble. The authorities "those in power" love the system as is. Why change it. It creates wealth disparegy which means control.
When you say foreign labor, do you mean undocumented workers?
Which again goes back to contacting the authorities. The wealthy have created rules through work visa programs. Every year Hundreds of thousands of workers from other countries are allowed to enter into this country and take american jobs. WHY? Cheap labor. Americans can do all that other countries can do but because of our rules created by the wealthy and privilaged and greedy we as non 1%ers are handcuffed.
I am bringing in foreign investors, and everything is being done legally. Again whom creates our legal rules and laws The corrupt that do not want to relinguish any power. Again Greed. I have been offered the ability to seek foreign investors and workers. It is short sighted IMHO to do so. "to simply close my eyes and not ask and verify where the foreign money is coming from" is wrong. Why should I surpress other american families and their children and great grand children for greed. For that matter I am also surpressing the same in other countries if I take their dirty money to build my wealth.
Part of the reason this was moved off topic is because of political nature of the topic, and you haven't really shown how to change things.
You're just saying it isn't fair.
