    Funny, this is exactly the same point I just made in my post above before reading your point. When one has deep pockets tax minimization becomes priority but the middle class must prioritize not getting wiped out when life disasters struck.

  3. It is funny. By you : all Canadian the best, all American sucks.
    Do you really think your country does not have any problem ?
    If it helps you to be proud of no matter what, keep going :)

    Hmm..not quite sure why you've linked that in relation to the quote..oh..wait...it's to show an example of a nasty episode in British history isn't it? If you think I'm going to try and defend that particular period somehow then you are mistaken. It was wrong then, it is wrong now. I don't hold the same fear of foreigners as a few on this board seem to.
     
  5. :) UAE citizens get $250k from the government when they get married to build villas.
    Does your government give you a dime ?
    For people coming for work - they have in a few times more their salaries in comparison with their country payments.
    No single crime there.
    Citizens get paid six numbers on prestige jobs.
    A lot of Europeans working there and very happy.
    They have implemented advanced technology and great infrastructure.
    I will be more than happy if we have such king :)
     
  6. You guys can kiss each other.
    Does it crime to be rich, if I’m professional and have decent income.

    In Saudia Arabia citizens receive pittances for families or home ownership. Your claims of UAE citizens receiving 200k to purchase a home are a complete fabrication. They receive some family support of around 2k per month for a family of 4 and get subsidized mortgage rates on housing loans but no 200k for free. In exchange they are limited when it comes to the freedom to association, the legal system is based on sharia law, no religious freedom, no freedom of expression, and limited political rights if any.

    You keep on making up stories as you go along, one after another lie, about Europe, the US, UAE and everything else you talk about. You are a nutcase and I will stop to converse with you on this topic because you debate in bad faith, you are seriously deficient in basic knowledge, you don't know how to read or spell. Not sure who let you into the US, but it's hard to believe that you are a contributing member of society. You sound more like a leech or freeloader who got into the country because of your kids. Even wonder whether you are in the US legally. Pretty sure ICE would have a field day with you. We are done.

    I feel most sorry for the poor stray cats that have to live with the stupidity of humans forcing those policies.
