Or to use another common sense analogy or to expand on the desert one anyway. It's like complaining that we can't find water in the desert.

I'm arguing we can't find water because the government is saying we can't look in cacti. While you are saying it's a conspiracy theory and the reason we can't find water is because we're in a desert.


Yeah. We are in a desert, but the government is preventing us from finding water. No shit if the economy was better and Europe didn't have any issues the economy would be better.

It would also be better for investments if we didn't have proposed laws to tax people investments that may fail, and in a lot of cases are more likely to fail then normal usually. I mean... how is that an argument?  (Note, small buisnesses file as individuals... and a target on investments of individuals also can lead to companies.)

Companies may need more money to prevent bankruptcies (though not a lot of the companies like Apple that have increased their cash holdings.) They ALSO need money because a new healthcare law is passing that's going to cost them a lot more money per employee and they don't really know how much because nobody knows how the healthcare law will effect healthcare prices.

Again, this is a debate... why?


We can't fix Europe, but we CAN fix the other stuff.  One thing is an economic landscape.  Which, like a regular landscape, really can't be fixed anytime soon, the other is very specific choices that have very specific effects.

Wouldn't income from investments be from successful investments, and not from failed runs?
