And you my friend. Live a sheltered life. Last time I checked the American Economy was Sinking like a ROCK COMPARED TO China, Canada, and the EU.
Not sure where you have been but the US has the strongest of all of these Economies. China is the only one with a larger growth rate at 10% but china's pollution is growing per dollar spent which will stop growth in a few years. Every part of the US economy is going strong with the exception of the housing market which just busted a few weeks ago and just now is starting to level off but still in the negative.
I do think scalpers should be hung it is not capitalism it is a robbery.
Americas Economy is not sinking like a rock. China is in a bubble state right now (much like US in 99/2000). Europe, hahaha. Has anyone here been to France or Italy? It's like socialism over there. And not only that you have 50% taxes? For what? No deductibles at all.
Free health insurance? Please, people die waiting for procedures they could easily be treated for without health insurance in the US because doctors must treat patients if they have health insurance or not. Plus, the European countries don't have very good doctors because they are paid by the government, in a free market you get the best doctors because they are rewarded for work.
If you compare our debt with GDP it's only about 2% of our GDP in the US, almost all European countries run a debt with 3 to 4% of their GDP.
I'll gladly take my 22% taxes after my deductible and invest in the stock market (foriegn companies too) and gold. Even if the US dollar is week I still benefit by having foriegn stocks, gold and I can invest more of my money into it because I have a lower tax rate.
And that 22% I achieved making 60,000 a year. Which is about a 30% tax bracket usually, that's the beauty of deductions.

Back to the subject at hand. http://www.itrackr.com/details.aspx?pid=4 I just found all the Targets in Indianapolis have Wiis. It's not sold out, just go look. You may have to go to more than one store. But they're there.
