Rick Scott Champions Package of Bills to Protect U.S. Investors From China

This week, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., showcased a package of “four finance-focused bills to hold Communist China accountable and better protect American investors and families.”

Scott’s office offered some of the reasons why the senator was championing these proposals.

“As tensions between the U.S. and Communist China continue to rise, these important bills will put safeguards in place to protect Americans’ hard-earned investments and stop exploitation by the Communist Chinese government. Since being elected to the Senate in 2018, Senator Scott has been urging both federal agencies and private businesses to decouple operations and investments from the genocidal Chinese regime. The proposed legislation will hold Communist China accountable by closing investment sanctions loopholes, protecting investors from dubious Chinese companies, imposing new sanctions, demanding additional transparency and accountability from publicly-traded companies, and identifying vulnerabilities and requiring disclosures so that transactions are transparent and safe for Americans,” Scott’s office noted.

I have some insight into Rick Scott, he was the financial backer of a small medical clinic company in Jacksonville, FL, I built the network for the company, we have 10 locations.

He would always around the company HQ checking on his investment, he was Darth Vader when he was onsite, if someone wasn’t performing, they were gone, he was/is a stone-cold businessman who had no qualms about getting rid of people who don’t perform.

He eventually sold of the company to run for Governor of Florida, which he obviously won then on to US Senator.

I wish Trump had been that tough on some of his appointees.

Scott should have a conversation with his fellow FL Senator about protecting Americans from the amnesty that Rubio wants.
