at the statistics.
Another thing. When people from India come over here to start new businesses (of which there are many) they are GIVEN $100,000.00 of seed money and DO NOT pay taxes for 7 years. We Americans do not receive help of any kind. As a matter of fact, my own son lost his business due to competition of a neighboring store which opened 6 weeks after he did. This store was owned by a person from another country who was granted this seed money. My son lost everything he groveled for and now has less than nothing.
I don't begrudge anyone help, but we've helped so many countries while we have people living in slums here. I could be homeless overnight if I lost my own job. Who would help me?
