So wrong. Germany has had a "Democratic Socialist" government for years. Boy are they really suffering. NOT>

What difference does it actually make? "Democratic Socialist" means someone who would take away your basic freedom. (there can be no "personal freedom" in the absence of "economic freedom.") Our leftmost liberals on this board again and again allude to the 'Northern European' democratic socialist countries. Well, let me tell them and you, that the Nordic countries are far from anything like that. There are reasons, why Denmark and Sweden range way up on the list of countries, where doing business are highly recommended by and for US companies. Low energy prices, cold climate with a lot of low cost cooling water - and too cold up there for potential bad guys - make the North of Sweden ideal for data centers. Oh, I forgot to mention the gentle corporate tax rates :) All of that in spite of the recent headlines about Sweden :) As all realists up there know, but hardly say, "Bad promotion is better than no promotion!". All that exposure in US media at no cost, like paradise!
