In 1964, after receiving his MBA, Chao founded Foremost Group, a shipping, trading and finance enterprise based in New York where he remains Chairman to this day. Chao has led the global shipping industry in incorporating “greener,” more environmentally friendly designs and technology into his company’s fleet of new vessels, some of the world’s largest bulk carriers. In 2004, Chao was inducted into the International Maritime Hall of Fame at the United Nations in recognition of his long-standing service and dedication to the international maritime trading industry.
In July 2014, it was reported that Chao's Foremost Shipping had 15 ships in its fleet, but construction was underway for an additional 8 capesize bulkers. In August 2014, it was reported that the company engaged in the business practice known in the merchant industry as flag of convenience to limit his U.S. tax liability by flagging its ships in Liberia instead of the U.S.. Foremost was singled out in the story because Chao's son-in-law Senator Mitch McConnell expressed disinterest in July 2014 for limiting a similar controversial business practice known as corporate inversion.

And if that's not enough, google Andrew Puzder.

We've just had the most anti-American administration in the history of this country over the past 8 years and you guys are shocked that NAI was approved by the current DOT? That's laughable.
I'm cautiously optimistic that Trump will do the right thing when it comes to matters like this.

I would love to hear you make the case for such inanity.
Never mind. False bravado and telling people what they want to hear rather than what they need to know is what you consider pro-American. Got it.

You bettter hope so. I wouldn't bet on it but one can hope. Obama screwed us, Hillary maybe not who knows. Trump? Judging by his Labor pick I'm reminded of the old airline career adage: If your enjoying a good time as an airline pilot, just wait a bit it'll go to hell soon enough.
