No.

Capital is not apolitical.

American capital is badly in need, of coming home.

Badly.

“American capital is badly in need, of coming home.”

Sure, it is.

But it won’t until it is treated better. I have a very active oil and gas company. Doing very well in New Mexico and West Texas.

But 1/2 of my expansion is in South America because the taxes here are absurd.

Jeez, guit sounding like a broken record. I doubt seriously that you have ever started or run a business yourself “with American capital” or not. All you ever do is whine about “Capital is not apolitical” or “American capital is badly in need, of coming home.”

As some have pointed out but you seem to never get into your thick head, “Capital goes where it is respected and well-treated.” as posted by Ruffian.

American companies and their capital are dumped on and sabotaged by the laws passed, unmanageable regulatory burdens, light years of red tape and everything else that a business owner has to put up with. And that goes for the huge corps also. When they have to spend their capital on whole departments just to *try* to comply with the laws, regs and penny ante rules, forms and red tape that change on a bureaucrats whim, they have no choice but to either go out of business or leave for somewhere else.

Businesses, large and small are leaving states like California and Illinois for states with better business atmosphere. Large businesses and corps are beholden to their owners/stockholders to make a profit and stay in business. When they can’t do that, they leave for someplace better.

The problem is NOT American businesses who don’t want to hire Americans or their American capital. It’s the anti-business, anti-capitalist environment created by the gov’t in the US that is making them flee. They and their capital would come home in a nanosecond if the business and regulatory environment changed for the positive and they could at least survive here.

You’re really grinding on that one last nerve with yer broken record postings of the same d@mn thing over and over without any mental effort behind it to understand why Americans and American business can’t survive here in the US.

Give it a break already. It’s not American business and its capital that’s to blame for going ‘overseas’. It’s totally the fault of the gov’t regulation and oppression of all business- except their political crony capitalists with their hands in each other’s and the taxpayers’ pockets.

If you ain’t part of the solution, then you’re part of the problem and whiny @$$holes who cry about American business trying to stay alive by going overseas doesn’t provide much of a solution.

Just my 2/100th of a George.
