I didn't know HK had socialized health care but probably s/h given its part of China, I suppose. I would still prefer our system imperfect though it may be.
Language programs is not the same as an entire education that tracks the requirements of the original country standard carriculum, full stop. HK 1.
I'd have to know more to agree.
Tort process - HK 1, hands down, uncontested. HK 1.
I agree. And agree the British has some improvements over ours - which is where the HK came from.
Food - tarriff-free import of original ingredients and hassle-free import of authentic cook is different than make-belief. Huge difference. HK 1.
Baloney. You can get any food you want here if you want it. And prepared as good as anywhere. Granted offbeat fare needs to be searched for if thats what you want. You've never seen any of the Fiesta, Hong Kong, Diho, Dynasty, etc supermarkets in Houston. Period.
Energy pricing - recognizing and dealing with reality as opposed to subsidizing energy cost with military adventures is to be encouraged. HK 1.
What advantage does higher energy taxes give to HK? Slight. Sure it holds down demand but HK is still dependent upon imports for what it uses.
Capital control - sovereign individuals should not have to fill out forms on own business. HK 1.
Who cares. There are no restrictions on capital flows.
Family value - HK 1.
Wonder why the birth rate is so low? Or why Chinese adoptions by Americans (usually of female babies) occur? With great family values you'd think there would be no unwanted children.
Imposition/persuation/brain-washing - call it what you will, is not welcomed on own business. HK 1.
So is voluntary religious missionizing not allowed there?
Sexual orientation supervision - not welcomed. HK 1.
There is no such supervision here. I wonder about something - American adoptions of Chinese babies is not uncommon. Would China allow adoption of Chinese babies by Rosie O'Donnell - a gay woman who has adopted several children?
Communists, Republicans, Democrats, Social Democrats etc ... what's the difference? In the final analysis, very little.
Communism has murdered tens of millions of people, maintained massive gulags for political prisoners. A pretty big difference. This is public knowledge. Why deny it?
Did you know that should you wish to decamp from citizenship of USA you need to get psychiatric certification as sane
No, I didn't know it. How many people, sane or insane, give up American citizenship? Very very few. After the last Presidential election, some liberals proclaimed their intention to quit the US, but unfortunately none of them has.
, and instantly recognize taxable gains on all holdings even if no sale is involved and pay the taxes? That, Brumar89, is a prison rule, and is CAPITAL CONTROL.
I don't think I believe that. Renouncing citizenship would not erase tax obligations, but wouldn't trigger any by itself either. |
