Who invests for patriotism? Seriously? Who? Do you buy a house because you are a local patriot and want to support your community by paying property taxes? Uh, no. You buy a house because YOU want to buy it for personal (read: greed) reasons and you also want it to turn an investment in the long run. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that... it's your money, your life, you deserve that.
The rest of your statement doesn't really make sense. Where is my foreign investment threatened? Where and why will I want government intervention?
All I said is that the United States needs to create better investment opportunities for people... be it Americans or foreigners. There is a reason people are investing in the "developing world" over the United States. Yeh, some of it is shady, but a lot of it is legit.
