Another George Bush for US?

Republicans do not understand economics as well as they would like everyone to think they do. America got out of a recession with government projects (New Deal), South Korea subsidized their automobile industry until it was mature enough to compete on the global market, just examples of how government involvement has done a lot of good, something hardcore capitalists ignorantly think of as blasphemy. Market failure ring a bell?

If America really wants to turn their economy around they should take lessons from the Democratic Socialists in Scandinavia. Low business taxes with higher income taxes are superb for economic growth, and government control of education and healthcare continually provides a healthy, educated workforce.  Sorry Mr. Bush, but if your population cant afford a thousand dollars in text books each year in college that means they will have less educated, lesser paying jobs, and they will have less money to support the economy as well as you and your friends rich lifestyles. 

The fact people dont understand that your economic situation is almost entirely dependent on that of your neighbor's baffles me.  You might make a lot of money as the owner of a Porsche dealership, but if everyone around you cant afford a nice car then you are headed down poor street too.

ok, that is really confusing.  if the population can't afford text books now, how are they going to if you want high income tax?

 

As for the McCain v Obama thing, all I need to know is that Obama has a history of voting for gun regulation, and that isn't a good thing in my book.  And I don't know why you Europeans think universal health care is good.  You pay higher taxes for it, and in a decade or two when you have nearly as many people living off of the government as supporting it, you will be wracking up record deficits like the US is right now or they will raising your taxes even further.
