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?

Are you really that dumb?

All things come to those who wait!


Speaking of loonies...they arrived. Including one odder than the rest.

Will take care of reciprocals this week.

That odd one is a 'toonie'....a $2.00 coin
Just to remind you of LooneyTunes.............. that is..loonies & toonies.
Good thing the Canadian Government held off on the five dollar coin. We'd
be walking around with our pants down around our ankles. ;-)




A toonie!

Gotta love it!
