    You have one now.

    Interesting article. So what the US has been suffering with, is just now showing some effect on the German economy...

    It failed in Sweden, the one time supposed bastion of socialism.

    Socialism fails because you simple cannot manage economies, economies emerge from the interactions of individuals exchanging goods. Centrally planned redistribution, be is liberal or conservative, is nothing more than theft.

    Leaving the market free does not imply that government shouldn't protect peoples' properties and rights.

    I just find it meaningless to use highly homogeneous micro-countries like Switzerland as useful examples of what is workable in a country like the U.S.

We can't allow this to continue and keep telling ourselves that we are the best country in the world! We have to accept that some very basic issues need to be reviewed and resolved. Bi-partisan work and not obstruction needs to be a big part of the next 4 years. So rag on Obama for another 4, or, move past the hate and look at the bigger picture.

    If you have to fight, be constructive about it.
    The world is going to collapse?...lol. That is your token here? So your mad rush to collapse simply b/c so is the rest of the world is your reasoning???

    i would say after last night our education might be below Ethiopia.

    there is no bipartisan to come. What you and your Marxist allies are attempting can't be met with praise or inclusion. It's 100% totally $#@!ed, what your pushing and you seriously can't expect intelligent human beings to willingly sign off on their own economic and financial ruin.

    i know see how Nazi Germany, the USSR, Mussolini came into power, by an ignorant and arrogant populace who honestly believe wealth confiscation and more centralized power solves problems.

    i consider 60 million American voters now enemies of the state.

    Yes, our system is a big $#@!ing joke. And you can thank both parties and their dirty little games for most of it.
    Go figure, a communist giving props to another communist in Chavez's dictatorship....lol.

    Dont hang arround and bomb or shoot innocent Americans to effect your "second amendment remedies" to losing elections.
    If we all left who would actually work and pay taxes so the President can continue his quest toward socialism and redistribution? All of you "takers" still need us to to stay in this country to provide all of your free stuff.
