Steven Wynn and most of the other casino big wigs have already moved tons of money offshore. After 300 years, the former Portuguese colony of Macau reverted back to China, and it’s become the Las Vegas of Asia, a boom town on the Chinese coast.

I always thought that Wynn was a Republican......his support of Obama in 2008 left me shaking my head in surprise and disgust. If you lay down with dogs, don’t be surprised when you get fleas.

I was living in Asia in 2003, when Wynn was the first American to be granted a gaming lic. in Macao.

His support for Reid I would bet the farm has to do with protection money


I agree. If you go against Reid, you go against the unions in Vegas. The culinary union and the teamsters control 90% of the casino employees.

Wynn is one of the most savy business people in this country. He built a huge empire from a small downtown casino/news-stand.

He started moving capital out of the country before the obama regime came into play.

Go search for Trumps campaign donations to Reid

Donald Trump’s Donations to Democrats
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2703298/posts

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has received the fourth-largest amount of Trump’s contributions, including $4,800 in the successful 2010 campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. In total Trump has contributed $10,400 to Reid.

In 2010, Trump also contributed $4,000 to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who easily won re-election. Schumer has received $8,900 from Trump since the 1996 election cycle. Trump has also been generous to New York’s other Democratic U.S. senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, who’s received $5,850 in Trump money.

Thanks for the input on Trumps Dem contributions.

I’m a little concerned that Turmp may be the badly needed 3rd party candidate that Obama has lined up. Huntsman may have been on the short list as well but he has presumably been scratched due to his 1% showing in the GOP primaries.

This whole thread highlights the problem with the American political system - Corruption. Follow the money.

It’s worth noting that Wynn says he’s a Democrat and supported Harry Reid in the last election.

IIRC Wynn and Reid have been friends for a long time, probably going back to the days when Prince Harry was not the liberal loon he is today.

Anyway, Wynn was on Cavuto's FBN show last night for most of the program. His main purpose was to convey the "Anybody but Obama" message, but he did mention, in response to a question, that the last time they spoke, Reid hung up on him.

Guess RATS don't take kindly to billionaires criticizing their stupidity.

That shows that he has no class. I taught my sons from a young age that it is rude to ever hang up on anyone. End the call with a little “class” but it is rude to hang up on people.
