  1. How can you say those countries are the best?  France has unemployment over 10%. Australia has a higher cost of living. That just scratch the surface.

  2. Randy Rogers So you would rather have people get money for doing nothing?  Ok, that sure will help out the economy.

  3. BadBadManners The US beats them in productivity and research and innovation in technology and science.

  4. Randy Rogers Or in other words slowing down productivity and improving society as a whole.  College education is inferior in Sweden and Germany compared to the US.  You get what you pay for.  And if it is so great than go there for free.  See how great it is.  If you pull out a college loan than get a degree that actually develops a skill.  You also need to learn what money is.  Your economic viewpoint is pointless until you learn what money is and how it retains value.  Having more money means noting if the purchasing power of it is low.

  5. Alex Jhons Your idea on wealth is flawed.  Around 60% of  a homeowner has their wealth tied into their home.  A homeowner has 30 times more wealth than a renter. Beyond owning a home the average person doesn't have much wealth.  Not everyone desires to be a business owner.  One food stamps and incarceration, we are a lazy and spoiled country.  I admit that.  It is irritating going down the road and seeing people walk on the don't walk sign and my light turns green and I have to wait for them.  It is irritating that the postal services doesn't fix the lock on the mailboxes at my apartment complex and now there has been reports of mail being stolen.  Well geez, when the lock is broken it makes it easy.  I just lost $22 from an item I ordered because some shithead decided to steal from me.  Hopefully I can get my money back from the post office, I doubt it.  I grinds my gears seeing my girlfriend's bike getting stolen, or graffiti and litter in my neighborhood.  There is a reason why I am pushing myself to succeed, we have shithead in our country and it is run my morons. I want to succeed and separate myself from the shitheads, and when the morons mess up the country I will still be fine.

  6. Randy Rogers There are several reasons why the US has the best university system.  First off, if you pay for college the equal amount for a house then you paid too much.  College isn't that expensive.  There are better research opportunities, there is more flexibility in how you attend college, the professors are better because they do get paid well.  Making something "free" lowers it's quality.  There is a reason why the US leads the way in research and innovation in technology and science.  There are opportunities for college students to get jobs on campus that are flexible so they can pay rent and bills.  The most important thing is how they treat graduate students.  In the US colleges pay graduate students to attend college so they don't have to find a job elsewhere, other countries don't.  So while their colleges may be "free" a student has to work a full time job while attending and for a grad. student who needs to do research that isn't good. Money gets it's value from the amount of goods and services available.  If you just give more money to the poor and middle class without developing more goods and services than you lowered the value of the dollar and raised prices.  Goods and services don't appear out of nowhere, they have to be created.  Taking money from businesses in a form of a higher tax or regulation and giving it away lowers the value of the dollar because production didn't happen.  This idea that growth is limited is one someone shouldn't have.  We should always promote stronger growth and if it is truly limited than the market will adjust for it.  But just giving money away in any form lowers the value of the dollar.  Jobs come and go.  A reason why those manufacturing jobs are leaving is because of higher taxes and regulations.  They are leaving too fast but as a whole they would leave anyway because jobs come and go.  Like when the tractor replaced the farmer, or how Netflix replaced Blockbuster, or how appliances have batteries on board that are rechargeable so no we need less battery factories.  It is how the economy evolves. We don't improve as a society by holding onto archaic jobs, we push people to develop new skills.  There was a plant, I believe in Ohio that opened up that couldn't hire anyone due to people lacking skills.  In Nevada Tesla is opening up but people lack skills there as well so Tesla has to train their workers to get them up to speed.  Tesla is different because they have so much capital to begin with that they can do that where other business don't. There are jobs coming in the form of technology and healthcare. That is where people need to focus their attention to.  Also, to say that wealth went to the top is false.  Is you life not better due to smartphones, high speed internet, better cars that are safer and get better gas mileage, etc.?   Wealth has been spread out to people.
