Quote from hughb:
The thing I remember most about Singapore was the cleanliness of the subway. It was practically gleaming.
BTW, I don't ever remember reading that Singapore doesn't tax cap gains, can anybody verify that?
Hmmm, remembering my last Singapore Sling......
Singapore has the highest density of millionaires in the world, one in every six household is a millionaire, unlike in U.S one out of six is on food stamp.Quote from jem:
I suggest we fix america the same way...
lets tweak our tax code a bit..
we cease all immigration for the next 5 years except we all people with phds or 2 million in cash to move to detroit and start businesses.
Then we target another city for 2 to 5 years... and we go one city at a time.
And we say anyone in those zip codes does not have to pay capital gains made on profits earned in those cities.
we might be able to end foodstamps and the democratic party within a generation.

I used to meet business people in san diego from singapore... I have not met one in years.
I think they may have all gone back home.

Yes, the invasion by the mainland Chinese is a pity.
Quote from ~~~:
Nope! I think you got it wrong, there's no invasion .. all the business people and the government all welcome China to invest. Singapore and China has very close ties special relationship.
