    Nope sorry as I've been watching so many ,too many clips. Across the board they were all Dems.
    Now not all regular everyday working Dems are liars, this is true. That said, all the , lets say, active vocal ones have shown themselves to be. I've actually never seen anything like it before. They open their mouths and lies fall out EVERY TIME.
    EVERY politician lies to an extent, voters would be fools not to realize that. This said, it is well, disturbing to watch those in the the Democratic party.

    I was just going through a short list of "American " companies" , of all kinds, that belong to other countries. Now I have to wonder when wanting to sell a company that originated and prospered from american citizens hard earned cash, why not sell in America? Are there no wealthy american investors? Do other countries have mostly Amercan owned business?

    What's the point of having "American ingenuity " when US citizens invest their purchasing power in "american " made to have it sold internationally as soon as it's successful?

    Provide some specific examples. I've worked with several huge companies and in different areas of Financial Services for nearly 30 years...



    Most American companies are incorporated overseas due to Taxes. Similarly a very large number have US operations incorporated in Delaware for the same reasons.

    Most public companies are 'owned' by shareholders. Generally, whomever has the $ can buy shares. Once a significant interest is accumulated (controlling interest) for US listed companies, shareholders need to file/describe their intent with the SEC. A large number of public companies shares are owned by financial services institutions due to pooling of investment dollars (e.g. From mutual funds, pensions, and private investments). To minimize risk and to align objectives, many of these companies invest across a variety of companies and industries. Most truly wealthy individuals made their $ from a single or very limited number of businesses (often as founders, execs or the sale of their portion of the business).

    Shares can usually be bought by nearly anybody globally. One of the biggest companies I know, owned/controlled by foreign interests was Citi (owned by Saudi prince).

    Big companies usually have international businesses, this increases their customer base and makes them more $.

    Globally, there are cheaper workers in other areas of the world...using labor arbitrage (offshore/nearshore labor) reduces the costs of production and operations. I affectionately call this balance sheet crack as execs get addicted to it, until things fall apart or go wrong.

    Lets see
    Burger king , then simiilar list after that
    Vasaline
    The usual hotels groups Hilton
    Budwiezer
    Chrysler
    The list goes on and on

    Other country invested owned and many international group owned.
    Now I know the reasonings behind it , obviously. I don't like seeing it. People rarely realize it . Seriuosly who doesn't purchase about anything nowa days without thinking China made. What does American made mean anymore, other than labor. When Germany ,Britan, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, France, Japan, and yes China own the companies / realestate on US Soil

    BTW,
    Give me a day, Doc has me laying low due to the concussion so too much time to read think and vent thoughts...lol

    The Dems have changed at the core, they are no longer the party of labor. Imagine if JFK as a candidate or even as an elected president said this.
    "Children are the world's most valuable resource and it's best hope of the future"

    Fast forward 50 plus years and we have a democrat candidate for vice president that is on the capital steps signing a bill and he and the crowd are celebrating a law that allows abortion up till birth. There were claps and cheers.

    The "Never Walz" booth at the Minnesota State Fair is attracting longer lines than any other attraction apparently. People are waiting in a very long line to spin a wheel and win prizes like "Never Walz" t-shirts etc. Over 2 million people attend the MN fair. Sounds like his home state is less than impressed with him. Seems reasonable that the Democrats would think he is a good fit. :eek2:

    The group never purchased neverwalz.com domain, so now it redirects to Harris Walz campaigned.

    Too funny
