name one
Sweden, France, and the US are all prosperous and do not have
a) little to no income taxes
b) little to no govt regulation of business AND
c) little to no govt involvement in the economy
First of all , I find it odd that you are associating those 3 things with socialism when in fact Obama and his socialist plans encourage all 3 of those things
Secondly,

Is a thread about the US even necessary?
Mort Zuckerman: World Sees Obama as Incompetent and AmateurThe president is well-intentioned but can't walk the walk on the world stage
"The reviews of Obama's performance have been disappointing. He has seemed uncomfortable in the role of leading other nations, and often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America's role in the world. The global community was puzzled over the pictures of Obama bowing to some of the world's leaders and surprised by his gratuitous criticisms of and apologies for America's foreign policy under the previous administration of George W. Bush. One Middle East authority, Fouad Ajami, pointed out that Obama seems unaware that it is bad form and even a great moral lapse to speak ill of one's own tribe while in the lands of others.
Even in Britain, for decades our closest ally, the talk in the presssupported by pollsis about the end of the "special relationship" with America. French President Nicolas Sarkozy openly criticized Obama for months, including a direct attack on his policies at the United Nations. ... Vladimir Putin of Russia has publicly scorned a number of Obama's visions.
As the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Les Gelb, put it, there is "the impression that Obama might confuse speeches with policy." ... unable to budge any Arab leader.
Strategic decisions go well beyond being smart, which Obama certainly is. They must be based on experience that discerns what works, what doesn'tand why. This requires experienced staffing, which Obama and his top appointees simply do not seem to have.
...a critical mass of influential people in world affairs who once held high hopes for the president have begun to wonder whether they misjudged the man. They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power."

Compared to our population theirs is peanuts as well. Give them 350M people to take care of and they would be 10 Trillion Euros in debt.

Then they can keep theirs, you can keep yours, and Obama can stop trying to turn us into them. I certainly don't blame you if you don't want to become us.
Just out of curiosity, where are you?

You must have been happy who was in the Oval office from 1993 to 2001 (sarcasm)...
Lots of hot springs in Arkansas from what I've read up on the place - bit like NZ.
Aussie is OK. I like Aussies, and there is a tonne of beautiful stuff here. Still not home though!
Eh, I was generally happy with Clinton, just couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Yes we have several springs. I live in the Ozark mountains . Beautiful here and I have no desire to live elsewhere, but love to visit places. Going to Alaska next year on a cruise, that should be fun.

I liked Clinton too. Very charasmatic, but a womaniser. Then again, look at Hills. Not exactly an oil painting..
Ozarks are supposed to be lovely. Don't blame you for not wanting to move...
Alaska looks cool, too..
Heading off now..
Have a good day...
