In your opinion why is America unable to produce any good products if our system is so great? You can blame the poor, or the bad managers or whatever but at some point conservatives have quit blaming and take responsibility for the last 8 years. You guys wanted to reward the greedy shysters in this county and not hard workers and they have run off with all of our treasure and left America for dead.

That is a nice chunk of propaganda you just put out there. Kinda like hard work = success. Millions of people work hard their whole lives and have nothing to show for it.

No they don't. No place on earth can people come with nothing and get so wealthy. There is no fixed amount of wealth If someone has lots of money that doesn't mean there is less for me or anyone else. Because some people are super wealthy in the USA says nothing about the standard of living for everyone else or their ability to make them selves wealthy. The old wealth is not true. Look at the new companies in the USA vs Europe

The top 1% in the US had 34.3% of the wealth in 2004. That's not a flat earth. It's not a fair playing field if someone starts up by 5 touchdowns. Most of that is old wealth and wasn't earned by hard work. The hard workers in American get shit on.

I was pointing out their health care system because you were saying how capitalist they are. I'm sure it does have some effect on the commons. Your whole point is that they are moving to the right. That maybe true but that just means they are moving closer to American liberals positions not the neocon free market right.

EasyEs (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

In no way is that true. concentration of economic power is far worse in economies with socialist/Marxist principals. Equality of poverty is not a desirable goal.

I don't care about name calling I care about facts. The fact is that over the last 4 years these countries have all shifted to the right and are piece by piece deregulating. They are still very regulated but are moving to the right. In no way does the government run the economy of any of these countries. Having government run health etc and day care has not effect on the commons stop insinuating that point.

Capitalism depends on a poor majority and rich minority. It's just a fact.

"On this list France, Germany Canada, Sweden,Columbia, Latvia, Austria all have right of center governments right now and are economically deregulating""Right of center" of what? If your tying to say that these countries were not what American conservatives were calling socialist during the campaign. Your wrong. When Obama was be called a socialist it was because they said he wanted to have policies like these countries. Do you deny that? Government run health care is not free market capit...

Okay I can't argue with you because you keep jumping around. This was an argument about the commons and the virtues of private property. You posted a list that proved my point and how you spout off facts about health care. On this list France, Germany Canada, Sweden,Columbia, Latvia, Austria all have right of center governments right now and are economically deregulating. America has the most progressive taxation system out of all of them as a matter of fact.
