Caribou Coffee and Church's Chicken seem innocent enough don't they?

Caribou Coffee & Church's Chicken

A Minneapolis couple thought up Caribou Coffee on their honeymoon trip out west. They opened their first shop in 1992. Six years later they sold out to the predecessor of Arcapita, which is backed by the Bahrain-based First Islamic Investment Bank. Arcapita, which conforms to Sharia Law, also owns Church's Chicken.



Citgo is an obvious one

CITGO
Started by an American oilman, it is now owned by the government of Venezuela





Are these the "People" that Americans want pouring limitless quantities of money into our political discourse?

9. Perhaps, but many of those overseas companies are simply relocated US-based tax-cheat companies,

headquartered overseas.

We may win a few of these situations, but more often than not, we lose to the politician
that passes policies that screws the worker while benefiting the companies that buys off
that politician.

10. It's called GLOBAL FASCISM for a reason. You think Jackson Stephens and Poppy Bush set up WalMart
Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 09:50 PM by blm
and Chinese industrialists in the 70s for exercise? WalMart was global fascism's first big test against the American people. Fascism won....the American people flunked.
