lawrocket 3 #3 August 10, 2008 What sucks? Foreigners buying properties because Americans will not? Hmm. Who owns it now? That's right. American companies. American people USED to own them, but decided that actually paying for it wasn't worth the trouble. SO foreigners are buying them. Here's some more news - did you know that foreigners have also taken the lead in working agricultural fields? I kid you not. Americans won't do that job anymore, either so foreigners are doing it now. Got a problem with this foreign money? Outbid their asses as opposed to bitching that they are buying something that we won't. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
