Changing the immigration law for the next year. Open this idea up the world. You can become a US citizen if you: 1. Have no criminal record 2. Have to buy a house in the US for a minimum of $200,000, no resell within 2 years. US citizenship after 2 years. I am Canadian and I would do it.
Ha. Canada has a law which if you invest half a mil or something like that in Canada, you will become ciitizen after 7 years or something like that...
So does the United States. You are eligible for naturalization if you're able to invest 1 million USD or 500,000 USD in economicaly disadvantaged areas.
How about the people that don't like it here and bitch and moan get a chance to sell their citizenship and get the fuck out.
I'd like to sell my citizenship in pre-1913 US dollars please. $700 billion "bailout" has now become a $850 billion "rescue." Debt will hit $10 trillion by month's end. Go go printing press.
How about as in some Carib countries - citizenship if you put $250,000 into American 5 year CDs AND/OR you create 2+ jobs... Heck, just do the fair tax and repatriate a $trillion or do.
why is this chart interesting? The average American was a pauper in 1913 compared to now. It ain't the dollar, it is the wealth.
Purchasing power. Wealth means nothing if your currency is a constant decline. The many billionaires in Zimbabwe would agree.
