CQ . . . this is not entirely true . . . what would happen to your country if Americans stopped spending their money there and decided to move on to some other island paradise? What would happen to the US if your country stopped buying our products, etc?
Umm...tourism is not our main source of income so it would not crush us. It is about 30% of our overall income. We deal in international banking/reinsurance etc. Also, our tourism stems from all over the world not just American...Canadian, European and I have no idea why but we have a ton of Japanese tourists which is strange as we are so far away. Therefore if all American tourists stop coming here...we would be looking at approximately a 10/15% drop in overall income which would hardly crush us ...especially since our economy is very strong to begin with.
I am not trying to criticize....just refute the assumption that all other nations are 'shitholes'. Mine sure as hell is not, as the same way Americans get pissed when people disrespect their nation...I do not appreciate it either.
I am not saying my island is self sufficient. As the 3rd smallest country in the world...we can't be. It's impossible, but we do not 'run to the US for help' as was stated. Help with what? I think we can handle running our massive 20 odd sq ft country

No offence meant to you or your country AlGebra btw....
