Lets be realistic and cover the Spectrum...

[rtejeda]

Covering the spectrum and thinking that for reasons of circumstances we, Dominicans, have allowed the country to become an international recreational park, managed by non-nationalistic capitalists uncompassionate, no good, investors whom primary goal is to take their profit out of the country thus exploiting and contributing to the extreme poverty level that currently exist in our beloved motherland, Republica Dominicana.

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.

Lets make this very clear, so you are in know doubt about this.

This is an English language site, period. If you have an issue with that, go find another website. Better still, go start your own site, I'm more than happy to help you if it keeps some of your BS off of DR1.

Also...

Save me the "USA first amendment rights" and the "You people are part of the problem in the Dominican Republic" emails. They got boring after the first 2-3 you sent me.

How typical, spouting off how bad us gringos are for the DR and in the next breath, saying I have violated your constitutional rights.

At least I can say for the past 10 years I have been employing Dominicans, paying taxes, working hard to promote the Dominican Republic to the rest of the world via DR1 and other products we are involved in. What have you done for your country lately or are you suffering an identity crisis?

Robert is overreacting and as a owner he can do whatever he wants, not only undemocratically close threads but also using one of the best firms in this country: Mejia Lora & Asociados Av. Sarasota #136 Tel: (809) 482 0838 because he can afforded due to the ship labor he gets to maximize his profits.

What I will do for my country will be absolved by the history of my country.

I personally, thank you for the financial data you have provided, and even though I am under the impression Mejia Lora & Asociados can make anybody with money, earned from ship labor or otherwise look good, it a nice task to undertake using DGII and the law to access public information. Indeed it will depend on how many are in someones pocket.

You can continue to kill as many threads as your heart allows you to. The only sad part about is that people like can only do business in developing countries like ours where democratic principles can be violated with no problems. But my friend you should know that we are changing "chin a chin" and the best is yet to come.

Hasta la vista, "Roberto".

this dude made me feel so sentimental now... just like russian propaganda in the 80's... only that russians called the rotten west "filthy imperialistic dwarf of reactionism".... yes, nostalgic.

Is Robert operating a sweat shop with a bunch of Dominican laborers?

I guessed that you meant "cheap" in the first quote, rather than "ship", but I don't get what you mean when you say "absolved".
Absolved: to set free from an obligation or the consequences of guilt
Is that what you mean, that you won't be punished for your guilt in doing God knows what?
When Robert asked you what you had done for your country, I don't think that it included things for which you will need absolution.
He meant positive contributions.... good things.

This is fun , I hope its not closed

Just for your information, we are not a floating entity, so no "ship labor" at DR1.

Your above post shows your complete ignorance of not only me, DR1 but your own country. Actually, I was pretty successful in the USA, Australia and England.

It's really sad when guys like you yap about this and that, but at the end of the day do nothing for you so called country.

Sure the DR is changing "chin chin" and sites like DR1 are help making that happen. Hey, another point for DR1

I suggest you stay in the USA and let the government support you and defend your first amendment rights, because your not getting any love here.

Next....

Wait a minute...
Are you serious?
rtejada doesn't live in the DR?
What about all the speeches about being part of some political party yada yada yada?
I feel so deceived.


Oh my my my my...
This is too funny for words.
Look what the spellcheck feature is trying to tell me.

When he used the word "absolved" I believe he was referencing Fidel Castro's "La Historia Me Absolvera." I might be wrong. Anyway this guy Tejada is a schmuck. What is he on about? If this country has an umpteenth amount of problems blame it on Dominicans. No bones about it. Foreign investment has allowed this country to take steps forward. No bones about that. The inclusion of the English language and the wide use of the language on the island has allowed the DR to be more accessible to foreign capital that would have otherwise not looked at this country.

We live in a globalized world. Deal with it.

Before you blame the "gringo" and the foreigner each Dominican should look himself in the mirror before passing the buck, as has become the norm. This isn't about some gringo coming in and setting up shop in the country. It's almost like a deep rooted jealousy. Like when the foreign dude comes into town and takes the girl you've always been after.

As per you assertion that these investors are no good...That lets me know how limited your spectrum really is. Many of the very people you are condemning with you words, which might be DR1 members for example, have businesses here and contribute to the DR in many ways including economically. They set up shop, start businesses, help their communities and with each move they have helped this country move forward. Before you go spewing your ignorance go talk to your buddy Leonel Fernandez or Hipolito Mejia about this country and the way it is.

Furthermore, on a financial level your comment of taxing an extra 50% makes no sense That would basically push business and potential investmnet out of this country. Even businesses that are owned by Dominicans would be hurt tremendously. There's a reason countries like Colombia and Chile have a leg up on the DR in so many ways. This backwards thinking is a reflection of the Dominican mindset: "Let's tax the hell out of them, get as much as we can from them, push them away and in 10 years ask ourselves why there are no businesses here and have our hands out to the international community begging for more loans so that our politicians can steal all the funds."

A real patriot would want the best for his country.

For information sake the last name is "Tejeda" and yes since English is my second language I misspelled "cheap" but not "labor". If it can happen to me it can happen to you; furthermore and F.Y.I. I do live in the Dominican Republic doing humanitarian work and helping the neediest people in the Deep South region, which is more than going around the world exploiting countries and people and seeking the cheapest labor market available.

No matter how my position is perceived, I am a strong believer in that foreign investors should reinvest at least 50% of their profit, take or leave it, is as simple as that. Let’s not forget that corruption requires a corruptor and usually those big money foreigners investing in countries with weak institutions are part of the corruption problem, don't you think, if there was corruption with the Sun Land corporation they are just as guilty as any participant from the government? So there most be a reason why these companies are investing, for sure is not just because they love the D.R..
