Then I feel a lot better. Thank you for correcting me, khalling. There's enough crap going on; I don't need to swallow any more!

Interesting. Thanks for the headsup, prof611.

Ever hear of the the Muslim Brotherhood Project?
This Virgin Islands thing fits their plan.

This post is about the possibility of an islamic takeover of an island. Why is nobody responding to this issue??? The only comments so far are about entirely different topics!

It is the USVI, specifically St Thomas. Last I checked, the BVI did not allow non-belongers to own property or businesses. In fact, outsiders can't even get a job unless they can show that there are no belongers capable of doing the work.

now I won't speak to Obama's recent immigration rules which allow immigrants to get tax credits goin back 3 years, but the argument that immigrants get a 5 year tax break on their businesses is a canard. not true. now-whether or not some report anything is another story, but there is no special program that exempts immigrant owned businesses from taxes on their profits. If you look on one of those fact checking sites they show how this myth has been perpetuated going back to the 60s and often it is one group of immigrants who perpetuate it against another group of immigrants. I also tried to search for any tax code which might be something close, all I could find was a conservative website that made claims with no citation. If you can find anything, please let us know, because any validation of this is important for people to know if it really is happening

Obama said he would stop the motor of capitalism. He is transforming America into a Gulch of Ayn Rand's worst nightmares and ours as well.

Is this in the US or British Virgin Islands? A couple of islands in the BVI are under consideration as potential Gulch locations.

The great majority of motels and convenience stores in my town are owned by people born in another country. Some are Indian. Many are Muslim. When they come in to my office they refuse to give any personal information, including a social security number; instead they will pay with cash. I don't know if its true, but I have been told that these foreign born owners have a special tax advantage, that for a number of years they don't have to pay taxes on their profits. Then they transfer the ownership of the business into a family members name in order to have more years of no taxes.
Kind of hard to compete as Americans when the game is stacked against us!
