Taiwan/China Games or Practice?

Bush's policies will certainly make the richest Americans richer.

Tax cuts do grow the economy, but I think you will find the paradimes have shifted somewhat, and they won't grow our economy as much as expected. Especially if they are targeted towards the richest few percent of tax payers, who more easily spend/invest their $ abroad than the rest of the population.

I agree pure socialized medicine would not be a good thing. What I'd like to see would be full socialized medicine for children, and some level of limited socialized medicine for everyone. Besides, we already have socialized medicine for what is by far the biggest part of our health care costs - the elderly. Its just been done in such a way that costs are out of control.

They invest more in their businesses which means more jobs for those of us who are just looking for a job from someone else and are too fearful to come up with a complete plan for adding value to the lives of others.

Tort reform!
 
But will they invest it in their business in the USA or in Mexico?

Tort reform = encouraging companies to put profits above life.

If americans develop superior skillsets and get over their entitled attitude, maybe.

Tort reform=stopping trial lawyers from using the legal system and envy to bilk unwarranted billions in punitive damages from corporations. All this internalized/externalized cost talk is just accountant speak for socialism.

Superior skillsets? Come on, our educational advantage is gone. We have foolishly allowed our technical innovations to be exported for 40+ years at the core level. The USA is now primarily a service economy, and even this kind of work is increasingly being exported.

By limiting judgements companies can very easily calculate the risk potential of decisions which endanger the public. If an action will kill some number of people a year, the cost/risk analysis will know for certain if the action is or is not profitable. Only by having the costs unknown can the public be protected from corporate greed. And corporations are duty bound to their stock holders to be greedy - all corporations are by definition psychpathic in their discision making process.

Tort reform is fundimentally socialist. In socialism you cannot sue the state owned companies or socialized medical institutions and doctors. Why do you oppose a fundimental principal of capitalism RWA? Have you fallen for the corporate bull shit?

Too bad. Economic isolationism and protectionism is not the answer. We will only further backslide. Do you think the third world should just be left out of the modern world? Screw the chines and indians? That doesn't seem very enlightened. Running from competition is always merely a temporary solution.

Risks should be calculable. Trial lawyers make everything too expensive and the unlimited risk potential just keeps society from progressing and new and inventive products and services from coming to market. Plus the little guy is completely squeezed out of the market from an inability to afford amazingly high insurance.

It's not socialist. It's fair. Settlements should be limited to proveable damages. And the purely punitive stuff, should be totally gone. you've bought the "lawyers are the protecters of society" b.s.

There ya go. Have fun. You're wrong.
