Ever wonder why so very few Europeans, Canadians and UK people own boats?

You are about to find out. Because lets for arguments sake say it is a
even 5%. I suspect they will do 6 or 7, but say 5%.

ever wonder why americans work 200 hours more than any of them? why we
dont have vacation? why we didn't have healthcare?

Funny. When I was in the UK I said lets go London for the weekend (from
Aberdeen) and the parents of the lady I was a courting on this dropped
their jaws. That was a major vacation to them and a weekend jaunt for me.

Depends on the life you want, at least in America you have a choice.
They don't.

Yes, I lived there too for awhile. I worked side by side with their
people. Did Stavanger Norway too. What an eye opener.

Your purchasing power just went down 5%. Takes $1.05 to buy $1.00 of stuff.

So 1/20th of your income is gone from your use. Litterally a first
class boat in a average working career. Even auto takes a hit, as you
have 5% less to spend on the auto. In the end, 5% less autos will be sold.

gee. my company gave no raises last year. probably none this year. the
rich did fine.

Will not be any for years to come, Obama is going to raise their taxes
and it will indirectly come from your wages. Tax the company more and
they will pay less. It is all interdependant. Want higher wages there
are only two ways. Get a skill that has elasticity in wages or get a
good economy that needs people. All people thrive best when
unemployment is so low employers have to treat employees right.

And your great grandchildren not yet born will curse your debt mongering
liberal ass all to hell.

and how would they feel if they were homeless and in the streets like
YOU advocate?

They might be, but hopefully some old values of depending on ones self
and fiscal conservatism will preval to prevent that.
