To these capitalists octopus investors and their prey is that this site is helping and targeting thus resisting, and at time plainly refusing, the usage of the Spanish language.
The government needs to further tax the profits of these Banditos Capitalists’' profits and force them, by law, to reinvest at least 50% of their profits back into the country's economy. Someday we will stop the exploitation of our country's national resources by regulating everything possible including internet site like this. I am sure DR1 is up-to-date with their taxes.

Tejeda: We as in "Us" Dominicans, are not a closed society like Communist Cuba or religiously crazed civilization (like Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, etc...). We live under real freedom afforded to us by our own written constitution; by Dominicans to Dominicans!
How do you propose we follow your nationalistic values? Deport all foreign residents? Embargo their biz in the country along their bank accounts? Use the courts to issue seize orders for their private property?
It's the capitalistic model that we follow (Dominicans) that allowed us to develop as a country today. That same capitalistic model provides the tools for the citizen of the world to follow the given rules in all and each same capitalistic nation they opt to reside at.
They come here and play by our rules, if our rules are not being followed as written. Why should they be held to a higher standard than our own citizenship? Are they less than us or more than the average Dominican to get special treatments in that order?
I see you know very little about the bulk of investors that today control much of what the DR's tourism industry is today. Otherwise you would know that well over 85% of the actual big biz there is fully owned or in majority of shares held by Dominicans!
Casa de Campo, Punta Cana, Juan Dolio, etc... Most of that property rights are owned by Dominicans in very large margins. To give you a minute idea of how much, think that the most recent tourism aimed project of greatest value to date was 89% purchased by Dominican nationals within hours to the tune of millions of US $... Cap Cana by Trump and Dominican associates...
The biggest biz and monopolies of the DR are owned by Dominicans!
We control the executive boards in 98% of non-Dominican held companies today doing biz in the DR. As recent as last year a Dominican national holds the most important chair in the Caricom union!!! Think that we're not even a full fledged member but invited observer still!!!
Unlike other countries where foreigners are not allowed to own the rights to the property they invest to, in the DR we're smart enough to know they can't rip the property off our land mass and take it home with them. The concept of owning property was a medieval ploy to allow tax payers to "feel" some freedom and rights when they had to pay their taxes to the state or lords... That's about all the property ownership grants a person to do with their property. They pay taxes just as you do on that property...
The use of English is the rules of the site. If you want to chat and debate in Spanish, the DR allows you to open a site of your own and do there as you like. A site is not run under democratic values, but the rules the owner sets forth as the order things must be done like. Either you accept to play by those rules or you decide to not play at all. At the end is your call, freedom to select if you participate or not by those rules.
In your post, you dedicate some lines to the need of the DR to enact laws requiring that investors leave some of that money they make here back into the country. It serves to understand that you have little to no idea of how companies and private individuals can repatriate funds from the DR towards foreign accounts... Try and take 10,000 US$ undeclared by customs in the airport to any country out of the DR... There you'll be given the information you seem to ignore about how things get done here...
About the taxes by all don't worry b/c soon enough all of us will be paying taxes with 100% certainty...

Those guys wouldn't let him in the front door. They're too busy trying to figure out how to climb out of the dustbin of history.
