Bye - and take care all - see my post in the "basic" section for more information.

Well - thats the second and last time my posts have been edited without my consent. And as a not so wise man once said: "Fool me once... eee.. baa... Can't get you fooled again" I would like to give my regards and best wishes to Adler, Njaco, Jug, Pb, flyboy, freebird and Parsifal. I enjoyed...

Sorry to hear that. Hmm... that puzzles me. Since they so not refer to the US in general - but to singular events (that have been seen before).

[deleted BS that apparently was not worthy of debate] These points are not for debate purposes - just "educated" guesses. In 4/8 years you can then mock me or hear me sing I told you so ;)

Yea - hospitals, infrastructure, schools, police etc... Should not be put up as capitalistic organizations. They return "profit" in other ways.

Ok - is wasn't talking about a nostradamus-like future magic read. There's plenty of crystalball looking in many of the posts here (including mine). I would just like to hear what people think the consequences will be from McCain/Obama.

Yes the welfare state is at odds with some of the principal and founding ideas in the US. But I think that those founding ideas are at odds with the realties of modern societies (the need for education and other high cost services). That state of affairs you mention is truly sad. But as I see...

Nah - "bigger is better is" is the US philosophy :lol: :p But seriously: Its not a matter of taxation as such. Its researching/learning which ammount of taxation provides the biggest ammount of welfare without undermining personal economic gains or other natural free market functions...

Yes - the sheer size of the state authoryties needed to support such a system in say - the US - is truly mindboggling. The following is just a theoretical thought: Such a system would have to be implemented by federal government and then maintained and evolved under local government to avoid a...

An outtake of the Economist Intelligence Unit's latest assesment of Danish economy: "For two years running, the Economist Intelligence Unit has nominated Denmark as having the world’s best economic climate for foreign investors and Denmark is also among the highest placed countries in...
