[quote="TGB!":f7dbf]Good lord. California has more people than Norway, and we have an unemployment rate of 6%, Scandanavia 4%. United States has a UR of 5.5.

Logically, the model that can most sustain itself is the one that will last. Thats just logic working for you. I work, 8-430, come home, party, sleep, go back to work. If I invest my money in a retirement plan, and am SMART about it, I will not have to rely on the government to take care of me because I will have taken care of myself. THAT is the basis of capatalism; individual accountability. It produces winners and losers, but at least my achievements are regulated by the government.[/quote:f7dbf]
Exactly! Thank you. In capitalism there are winners and losers. Just because you became a winner does that make our system better? Think of it out of the box a bit. People are not all smart. Should they be screwed because of that? Maybe you say yes. And what about those who never had a chance to begin with? When you are unemployed in a place like, for instance, denmark, the government pays for you to go back to school for as long as you want to learn and get back to a job. Here, they put you on welfare and let you mope around. (well technically you have to make an effort to find a job but that is easily faked)
