You claim to follow economics so please tell us a country where
central planning and tight government control has brought the kind of
prosperity that the USA has seen to this point. All I am looking for
is the name of the country that is socialist or communist that has a
higher standard of living than the USA.
Maybe you feel you have a high standard of living..what with your two
BMWs and excessive income ( as you boast about).
What about all the American families that have to get by on less than
$70K per year....or even $50K?
I'm sure they don't feel their standard of living is all that great.
I don't have two BMWs. I have a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2001 Ford F-150,
and a 2009 Jeep Patriot. 15% of my income goes into a 401k before it ever
hits my bank account, I don't have a retirement plan I have to fund my
own. I put another large chunk of my after tax money into 529's for my
daughters college educations. What's left over is what I have to live on.
You try living with a wife who gives all of your money to charity and
daughters who give what's left over of your money to various clothing
vendors at the local mall.
When I have talked about the money I earn I do so to let the Harry Krause
know that even though he has his alleged "Ivy League" education that
little old me with just a high school diploma can succeed in life with
hard work and determination.
Maybe I was getting you and DK mixed together.
Someone was bragging about having 2 BMW cars.
Probably DK. He probably bought one, saw it in his driveway, and bought
another, so he could play "can you top this?" with himself.
