  America The Greatest Country on Earth

I recently had a Canadian next door neighbor who opted to go back to Canada (couple of years ago). He was not happy with his rate of promotion here - also that health care not free - and also that college costs for his young son would be astronomical here. He said it might take a while to have a sickness tended to in Canada - but it was free, also that college education was free. I offer no point of view here - just fact. I suppose he thought the money he would make here would more than offset the costs, but in the end he figured life would be better in Canada.

Wingwiper, I have no disagreement. But I don't think there are perfect systems. In the final analysis there are wealthy and poor people in socialistic systems and democratic systems. Maybe things are just a matter of degree. When you pay 33% of your income in the US in taxes I might call that socialism. Do we all get the services we should for the taxes we pay? Probably not since money gets siphoned off every time there is a transaction. But then again - since we are not a socialist society - I guess we should expect no services and treat these taxes as theft.

Chief, I agree that these taxes are so high that we are no different from a socialist country. The danger we run is that we soon may not be the best country that is out there with this corruption and siphoning off of the productive worker's earnings.

Wingwiper - you make this too complicated. To understand if you are better off just check whether your income has risen faster or slower than the consumer price index (CPI). I think most private enterprise employees are doing worse than the CPI lately. And taxes are skyrocketing because of pork barrel projects and a huge governmental infrstructure that must be supported at constant or increasing growth rates (5%+).

When local taxes are so high that they are equivalent to holding a mortgage on your home then something is wrong. When people have to leave their homes or take windows out to reduce taxes then something is wrong.
