i scarcely believe that anyone here cares.

i think that you are doing something you accuse others on this board of doing..making demeaning , generalistic remarks about the people of a country. it is a slippery slope, Pepe. that could open the floodgates for a torrent of demeaning , anti Dominican remarks from the Brits, as you call them.

the difference between us, Pepe, is that i give it, and am prepared to take it. so, when people launch an attack at me, i stand my ground and take the licking like a man, knowing that i am guilty of taking shots at others. you, on the other hand, want to be able to make disparaging remarks at others, but, when they respond, you gather your hen clique together for a good old bawling session. grow a pair. there is nothing that special about you which allows you to make derogatory .statements about others, while remaining immunized from return fire.

Many people care - they want to escape taxes of the evil empire.......
S.

let me finish that sentence. it should read

many people care. they want to escape the taxes of the evil empire, and come to the DR, where business opportunities abound. as we speak, small businesses in PUERTO PLATA are awash in money. restaurants are popping up all over. tour operators are seeing salad days. come, and speak with ABC, relocation consultant, and i will show you business opportunities that will make Microsoft look like a church cookie sale.

So true.

That is when people from the UK, Sweden and other socialist nations are successful the first thing they do is set up residency in Monaco or some Middle East nation.
They earned their money so they rightfully don't want the majority of it being taken away and given to Slackers and Looters.

hey, anthonyc, check this out

The financial crisis is full of complex schemes and indecipherable acronyms, but the most astonishing alleged fraud of the entire mess is pretty straightforward: Wachovia allowed Mexican drug cartels to launder $380 billion of drug money through its bank, repeatedly looking the other way and ignoring internal whistleblowers who alerted them to the problem.

This was a clear violation of federal law, but Wachovia appears to be getting away with it. The Justice Department is not seeking an indictment against the company, out of fears that it could destabilize financial markets. Instead, it's reached a "deferred prosecution agreement" -- effectively a settlement -- in which the bank agrees to pay $160 million and promise to never, ever launder drug money again.

Pretty light penalty for, you know, laundering drug money. The fine amounts to about one-half of one-hundredth of a percent of the drug money that DOJ says passed through the bank. Outside the too-big-to-fail world, getting caught laundering billions of dollars in drug money doesn't just earn you hefty fines, it plants you in jail.

And Wachovia wasn't alone. According to the U.N., laundering drug money was common during the darkest days of the financial crisis, as faltering banks sought to get their hands on any money they could find -- regardless of where it came from



i know, anthonyc. that drug money came from all them lowlife, lazy mexicans and negroes in the inner city, who do not want to work, but just want a part of the hard earned gains of the industrious people in America.
