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.


Richard did not come from wealth from what I read. He worked hard,
took
chances and scored. Took a lot of years. I worked and paid my way
through university. Took 10 years. I worked overtime, bought a
business that my buddy and I ran that for years while still keeping
our
other jobs. I am comfortable, maybe not as comfortable as Eisboch, but
he worked hard. You, on the other hand, were a 40 hour a week if that
Crown Employee. Did not gamble a lot of your money and assets on
running a business or growing a business. Did not work 60-80 hours a
week working. My nephew, works a couple days a week, did not finish
college, and complains of no money. No work ethic. A major problem in
the poor in this country. Why work hard when society will give you the
equivalent of about $18k a year, including medical. And you can work
side jobs for cash. Why we have 4 and 5 generation welfare families.
An about 60% high school drop out rate in areas of the country. Lots
of
families live on less than $50k a year. But they do not buy expensive
cars, or even new economy cars. They live in 1100 ' sq houses, and not
McMansions. They live within their means. Too many want the life style
of the rich and famous without the work required. Some are there
because of circumstances. A bad illness in the family, etc. But those
are a minority. Most are there because of a bad work ethic. Even the
lower IQ people hold a lot of decent paying jobs. They can not be an
electrical engineer, but they can clerk at a department store, take
money at the 7/11, etc. Why do we see so many immigrants running
grocery stores, donut shops, nail salons, and other hard, time
consuming
business endevors. Because they have a work ethic. Plus they do not
overspend. Live within their means. You leased a truck 3 years ago.
Now
bought a Rav4. How much a year has those vehicles cost you? I just
bought a new Vensa for the wife. Nice car by the way. $38k sticker.
Replacing a 1996 car with 145k miles. What is my cost of vehicles per
year?


Drinking again Kalif Swill??
I was replying to..and referring to *BAR* with my comments.


I would have assumed you were drinking, but I think you are just stupid.

At least he's credible. You're starting to lie as much as your lover/
master/clone Harry. Speaking of which, where are those "facts" you
claim you have about me?
