Lets look at ONLY ONE aspect of this (there are many more). Do a search for the effects of overseas/Chinese investors on the UK/Canadian/Australian property markets. Yes, some of these markets have controls, but it appears that overseas investors can get around them. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/sep/29/inside-china-passion-foreign-property-investment-uk And what the heck, since this touches upon trickle down eco: http://www.cnbc.com/2015/04/22/trickle-down-economics-has-failed-stiglitz.html
And here's the rub. As you mention (paraphrased): "As long as everything is legal and above-board". Awesome in theory.
Try entering usa legally with a record. A friend visit me from canada and was denied entry because of marijuana charge from the 70s. He had to get a pardon before entry.
That's the difference between us. 1 guy putting $500k into our economy raises an alarm for you, but 500,000 guys coming here illegally and draining every dollar they can doesn't.
Putting $500k into the economy? No. Read the article. Putting $500k into Kushner properties. Why don't you go pray with yourself?
I guess all you naysayers prefer poor immigrants like yourself. The 500k investment does not go straight into Kushners pocket. It's used to develop property, people are hired and taxes are paid. Sure they make a profit but they put together the initial investment and project, they work hard and earned it. IMO, seems like a lot of jealous people on here.
The snowflakes weren't bothered when foreigners put 500 thou+ in the bill and hillary slush fund known as the clinton foundation.
You really don't get it, do you? They put that $500k into a new building project. That $500k is used to buy materials and hire workers to build that project. How is that not putting $500k into the economy? That is $500k that was in China and is now in the US, therefore that's putting $500k into the economy. Checkmate.
It's like you guys are trying to compete for first place in a stupidity contest. Trust me, you're all winners.
