| nuckles87 said: Obama and Romney are not the same, and it only takes cursory research of their policy positions to see that. They have completely different rhetoric on tax policy, health care, the role of government in protecting the environment and the economy, among other things. If you say they are the same, then you are either trying to make your own candidate look good, or you have not cared enough to pay attention to the campaign. They are two very different people with different policy positions (albeit Romney has had to flip flop on a variety of his old positions and policies to get to where he is and reflect the stance of the extremists controlling his party). And, frankly, unbridled libertarianism will do a heck of a lot more damage to America then Obama's mild conservatism will ever do. One only needs to look at the great depression of the 1930s to see where decades of small government not regulating the behavior of corporations will do to an economy. The current problem isn't too much government control. The problem is not enough. We had higher taxes and more government regulation in the 1950s, and our economy was doing a heck of a lot better then then it is now. |
Why even wait for more government intervention to happen in the States? I hear France just elected Hollande, the Socialist as President. It looks like they are moving in a more favorable direction to what you want. Go there and see how it works out.
