news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3511959.stmthis should point out several things 1. tax cutting does promote businesses to move where taxes are lower. 2. Its not funny when someone moves a project that would have paid several million dollars into gov'ts purse somewhere else and now the gov't gets nothing.

If you poor-poor Amies think your sooooo overtaxed, why don't you come and live over here in Switzerland where they tax turnips. Remember your mommy always told you that Switzerland was a tax haven? Ha-Ha... only for the Boris Beckers and the Michael Schumachers i.e. the equivilent of the Bush-elitist rich. Here the POOR peolpe are the backbone of the tax community. The LESS money you make here, the MORE they tax you. So get off your high horses and stop feeling sorry for yourselves. Who knows...maybe you'll feel good giving Uncle Sam a little bit more every year and you'll get rid of your gas-sucking SUV's and join the rest of the civilized world in the Kyoto Protocol. God does work miracles once in awhile!  |

Lol. . .doesn't get much sorrier than this: a Swiss person complaining about taxation because he didn't manage to succeed as a banker or watchmaker.

What's he complaining about. They got good chocolate great skiing and sweet babes in Switzerland. Only a fancyboy, parapalegic with no taste would complain about Switzerland

Finally, then, we come to the most sensitive and incendiary debt management strategy of all. Plunder.
Plunder it is not. The price of oil goes up and we pay for it. It's unlikely that will change. The US economy is crippled by regulation. No nuclear power plants are allowed. No drilling for oil. Insane regulations that drive business out of the country. That creates enormous dependency on foreign factors. Some sectors are ruined by competition from abroad, others stagnate in enourmous costs due to government regulation. Medical services and medicine are ripped appart between restrictive education, licensing and legal requirements. The costs require insurance which drives the price even furter. There is no competative market due to lack of information, conviniently called 'privacy'. Clinton rode on a short wave of computer and telecom boom that actually was seeded in the 60-ties. But the litigation risks and the cost of doing business in US eventually chased it abroad. Now we need to buy a lot and have little to sell. Deficit. None of the parties has any vision how to deal with it. They look cought in short term favours to special interest and totaly lost in the strategic issues.
Yes, democracies get the rulers they desrve. When the poluation fails to comprehend the long term direction, the democracy dies and the whole thing may or may not start all over again. It's disturbing that so few people understand their resposibilities as citizens.
