    What Country Has It BetterThan the United States and Why?

    Chris got me thinking...what country do you think has it better? I'll start off...a couple of places I've visited and have thought about living. Spain has 20% unemployment on the books, the reality is probably worse. The UK puts people in jail for tweeting offensive things about soccer players. So let's hear where things are better and why.

    You question depends upon your means. If you are wealthy many countries would likely be better for you.

    Very true. A lot of places, perhaps even most, would be cool if you had few financial concerns.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    If we limit the question to economics I was considering the opposite...if you're poor many other countries have better social services. If you're wealthy, most others have much higher taxes. I suppose it depends how poor or rich we're talking. For someone middle class and hoping to move up there are probably a few options but the US has to rank highly.

    These days Canada is doing better economically, but heck, they have a conservative government now under Harper and sounder freer economic policies, but I wouldn't want their socialized healthcare. A visit would be all I'd ever want. I'm pretty happy here as long as I don't think about government.

    But we could take Mexico. It's economy is doing better now, they come up to San Antonio to buy houses and shop. Just get rid of the drug cartels by stopping the Obama Administration from selling them guns.

    The time for just talk is done. Active recruiting of friends, relatives, co-workers and congregations is now critical. Be the Indy Voter making the difference. 7,501 groups formed. 3.5 million FB. Take back your schools, communities and country.http://www.freedomworks.org/

    Yet social and economic alchemists on the progressive left press on, arrogantly believing they, despite overwhelming historical and real time evidence to the contrary..can turn collectivist lead into utopian gold - Webrockk
