<<<The concept is to think of the US economy as a race horse. If we add weight to the race horse it will slow down.>>>
I think you need to hire a good trainer with a lot of good experience, feed the horse properly, give the horse good veterinary care, provide training facilities and proper exercise, provide decent transportation to near where the horse will race, and pay all the registration and entree fees before you can expect the horse to be competitive. All that cost money.
Like anything else, like any business, you need to invest carefully if you want to be competitive.
Give me some examples of where businesses florish without investments. Give me some examples where businesses florish without a strong government regulatory system.
The only countries, outside of the US, where I would consider living are ountries that provide cradle to grave universal education and healthcare (eg, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Great Britain, Canada, and Switzerland, just to name a few off the top of my head). Look at the pictures of the crowds lining the streets for the Tour de France. People in those socialist countries seem to be happy. |
