trickle down is comical. i like seeing the rich get bigger tax cuts because it just means more blow back down the road. america is a kettle.

so americans in debt are more free than europeans who arent in debt?
btw do you actually do anything political besides voting, or do you just talk about it and proceed to do absolutely nothing?
something to think about in the future.

I think the minimum wage should be eliminated. It keeps wages lower in many cases. Let the free market determine what wage it takes to keep able employees in the work place. The living wage deal is insane. These low wage jobs are not designed to support a household. They give inexperienced people a chance to enter the work force and develop skills that can help them pursue higher paying jobs later on.

Actually, the tax burden in the U.S. averages 25%, where Europeans average 34%, so yes, Americans are more free.
And, coincidentally in Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, the effective corporate tax rate is 15%, and their unemployment rate is 3.6%. Comparatively, the U.S. rates are 20% tax and 4.4% unemployment. I guess the rich getting richer in Germany works for the benefit of everyone.
america just spends all its taxes on war. its true america is undertaxed but im not sure which class they are referring to when they say that.
you do know that germany and america may measure their unemployment rates differently right. german economy is much better than the americans; the germans still manufacture stuff. so just comparing unemployment rates is not good enough.

Well, put an end to the exploitation. Since the U.S. is so corrupt, you should move past the disaster of your birthplace and relocate to a country that shares your idealism. Majority rules here. Sucks.

Correct, thank God you're Canadian.
how about italy. you know, that place america CIA and UK came in after WWII and were appalled to see workers running the show which they tried busting up:
There are thousands of cooperatives of all types in Emilia Romagna.
- Cooperatives make up over 40% of the GDP of the ER region.
- In Bologna two out of three citizens are members of a cooperative.
- In Bologna over 85% of the city's social services are provided by social co-ops.
hey if you want to be more like the germans you could have 5 weeks paid vacation by law, maternity leave, free college for all including non citizens, or german co determination which puts workers on the boards of directors and is more democratic than american corporate capitalism..

Utopia! There's where you should re-locate! Maybe East Germany, better known as Refugee Central. You'd fit right in.
