Ted Re..Tim, I think that most would consider your desires a little reactionary. Less taxes and regulation is from another time...it worked to some degree then but its unlikely to work now. I know I have said this before but I will say it again, people who think like you do[and this is not intended as a put down] need to be in places where reg. is not necessary at this time. For an example, I suggested before the Australian outback. Another possibility is some of the more agrarian states in Africa. I met a guy a while back who is thinking of emigrating to the country that used to be called Rhodesia. He really likes that the laws are few and there is little taxation.<<<<<
I thought you liberals were shooting for freedom, not more taxation and more regulation. Given a choice, I would take the outback over your ridiculous utopia anytime., Wasn't that what our country was founded upon, freedom, not stifling taxation and regulation.
However, to do anything right usually requires additional thinking and planning....not the strong suit for entrepreneurs
Don't you have inventors mixed up with entrepreneurs. Thinking and planning are the strong suits of successful entrepreneurs.
I would have not allowed the land to have been so mercilously exploited [strip burning, open mining, deforestation, etc] and allowed them to abuse and enslave so many people including children<<<<<<<
I doubt if there is a county or small town in this country that would allow that anymore. Back then in the 1800's, slavery and child slavery were common in most countries, not just this one. The robber barrons just took advantage of it. Certainly, Bill Gates is a modern day version; just different times and different methods, but the outcome was the same.
Most historians suggest we lost alot in the process of developing this nation. <<<<<
Sure, but this country also gained a lot more than we lost, which is why we now are the richest nation in the world. Our companies have gone from being some of the most wasteful, to being the most productive in the world. Japan, isn't even close in productivity. You are talking about practices that are long gone by.
Its believed only the robber barons truly benefitted.<<<<<<<
While there is no doubt that the robber barons profited immensely, the country as a whole also benefited. |
