large numbers of Americans being evicted from their homes,
Mostly because they could not afford the home on the terms they agreed
to and thus never should have purchased them. I can not afford a
Rolls Royce, and no low teaser rate will get me to buy one on financing.
but we now ave a broken health care system,
That delivers care of sufficient quality (to those who can pay) that
folks come here to get what they can not get from their national
systems. Did you read the recent study about how many women in labor
had to be turned away from British maternity wards for lack of beds?
high energy prices,
Largely because demand is way up and we have historically been wealthy
enough to pay whatever it costs. Be nice if we did not subsidize oil
importing through payroll and income tax though.
contaminated food stuffs,
Because those pesky consumers have largely valued low price above
every other consideration.
and a second-rate telecomminications system.
Yawn. Yes, we could have a faster system. Good old fashioned
corporate competition would help, but those pesky voters keep electing
local governments that grant monopolies to cable companies, reducing
competition, instead of reducing barriers to entry.
But you know, the
money for those $100,000,000 salaries (plus bonuses) has to come from
somewhere.
The laboror is worthy of their hire. That applies to ploughman and
plutocrat both, or do you want a government office setting
compensation rates?
And they figured they would have retired to the Cayman Islands
before people figured out exactly how much damage they did.
You know this how?
Eurosocialism says that no person is worth 1000 times more than any
another person and such a disparity in paychecks is wrong.
Liberty and Freedom say that the market gets to determine
compensation, not the government.
Letting things
go so far wrong has ruined our economy. We don't need retroactive
immunity as much as we need retroactive taxes. This needs to be put
right.
What is right about the majority voting to tax the minority for the
benefit of that majority? That is the very antithisis of liberty.
If Eurosocialism is so great, why have more open economies out
performed them over the long term for so long?
