I have owned and run a successful small business in the USA for over 40 years. No government involved, except that I do pay taxes. We began a second business in 1995 that is still thriving.

All it takes is an idea, some savings and a lot of hard work.
Goverment has nothing to do with it.

For you that can't see the forest for the trees, the point is that new comers to the US arrive with money with which they can immediately buy a business. That is they have Capital. The US tax system does not allow the middle class to accumulate savings. Some do of course but the majority can't.

How many middle class Americans can save several hundred thousands of dollars that will allow them to buy a going business which is what these foreigns do. They bring the money in.

"I always joke to my friends that Saddam should have fled Iraq, moved to Tunica, and opened a gas station. Wouldn't have found him in a million years"

Tunica's gotten pretty busy lately. Bet one of the tourist would spot him. :)

I've seen some pretty suspicious MEs at the casinos in Vicksburg, especially the Ameristar. About 3 months ago, a group of 5 of them came in and walked around. I was curious, so I followed them through the casino. They were there for over an hour and never played a game or ate. They just walked around, over and over, throughout the entire casino. When they walked out, I told the security guard what they had done. He just nodded and said, "I know." I guess the cameras were watching them.

I wonder who leaked the sting?
