- Right. Just what I'd expect to come spouting from a socialist. Get real
- Chris! Look at your own two points and think about this:
-
- 1) Americans pay less tax per person because we are free enough to tell
- the bastards in Washington DC to keep a lid on it! Unlike those of you
- that have abdicated your personal responsibility for what your government
- does to you in the name of 'social progress'.
-
- 2) Our infrastructure serves those of us that work for a living quite well!
- ..those that refuse to get with the program are left to their own devices
- and that's the name of that tune.
-
- Something else to consider: Look at the shambles that government-ownership
- has done to the UK's industrial system: The airlines, the oil and coal firms
- ...need I say more?
