US workers are the highest paid in the world.

@ Skybird Take your BS to the streets of Germany.

No. Much of it is BS "made in the USA", sweetheart.

I sometimes wonder whether a properly applied socialism wouldn't be the best thing. But I have two problems:

1) The free market happens by itself, whereas any type of socialism is artificial, i.e. it has to be applied from above, and enforced.

2) Said enforcement always requires giving someone enough power to make it work, and I have yet to see anyone in office I would want to trust with that kind of power.

You get as much as you give. Become noisy - don't wonder a noisy echo.

I'm sorry to offend anyone but I think the general sceptism to socialism in the US comes from some deep cultural heritage that perhaps is hard for europeans to understand. If you want a sucessfull "socialist" country I would choose sweden as an example, the market and many other aspect of life are controlled by the state, more than in many other european countries. Still sweden ranks very high on most rankings even though it is by no means a lucky country when it comes to natural resources (like it smaller brother and even more communistic norway). Of course comparing two countries with a total inhabitants of less than 15 mill with the US is perhaps meaningless but I did it, sue me..
