Recession does not explain persistant non assimilation by the immigrant groups. The muslim ghettos of europe, the constant underperformance of blacks, and the insistance of a bi-lingual society is not due to recession. The left says it's racism by whites, I say it's a racial-cultural gap that...

Has the US ever really been a 'melting pot'? US (and Canadian) hsitories are unique, large land areas flooded with mostly Europeans, the most advanced economic and technological cultures on the planet at the time. Europeans for some reason have assimilated well to a common culture here in...

http://www.hudson-ny.org/2219/netherlands-abandons-multiculturalism The question is why do we even support such obviously stupid liberal ideas in the first place? Sadly enough multiculturalism is now entrenched within the american education and political institutions. It is amazing how the...

Not paying taxes doesn't bother me so much, it's 1) all the handouts they get which gives a lot of them a negative tax rate, 2) encouraged strongly by democrats, they get even more money they didn't earn whenever there is a tax cut on people who actually pay, 3) their constant complaining about...

There was a cereal that had a free edge inside of every box. I am lucky because I only had enough money for 1 box and I chose that brand over another that had free green lantern rings.

I don't understand why people expect so much from a forum where the barrier for entry is to have email and an internet connection.

Well bigspeculum, it looks to me like just another indicator. I do not see the value of indicators on nonstationary stochastic processes, they add no predictive power. In other words I don't need digital signal processing to see what the market is doing nor do I believe I get new information...

not buying it at all, in fact the opposite is probably more realistic. Germany, Japan, China, and Mexico have all risen by trade with us over the last 60 years and sometimes by direct investment. US-Canada was largely a self contained economy in the 50's. We were innnovative, creative...

nitro, you keep looking at economics and government as some sort of religion, that there simply must be some sort of higher power to bring order. Freedom does not promise you anything materially, neither does nature and if you can't handle that then you need to join a commune and live with...

So say we all, SO SAY WE ALL!

that chart looks really complicated, you must be rich

That's incredible, you need to charge for such information.

Sorry if I characterized you incorrectly. Systems of economic law can only try and do the most good for the most people, ideals cannot be attained because people are non ideal. Certainly american capitalism can be made better for more people and generate more wealth, but that would mean...

Piezoe probably won't admit there are any inherent defects in socialism, so much for a real discussion. There is not a single example out there of a nation becoming prosperous using socialism as a cornerstone, everyone gets wealthy off capitalism. Then curiously enough the socialists crawl...

this is what Al Gore did, but nothing happened to him. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/op030797.htm

The elite liberals don't really give a shit, for most of them its all about taking down the hated enemy- the conservative white man. I have to give Obama credit, on his campaign trail he made a promise to take on China trade via the exchange rate. Like so many of his other promises he failed...

Failure in logic 101, you can't steal something they don't have. That is however liberalism in a nutshell, a colossal failure of the human intellect in favor of emotional politics.

You don't have family time and you don't eat long sit down dinners. I did something like that in grad school, worked full time and took courses at night. Most young men can't fathom being a Marine either due to the high demands during basic, yet what a human can do will surprise most because...

Once again bigarrow, the thread started with lefty bitching about Bush tax cuts even though not only have Obama and the Dems refused to reverse them, they actually expanded them with stimulus. How can you even begin to then to start talking about Bush tax cuts given that and the myriad of other...

Of all the reasons for the 2008 debacle, I have never seen anyone able to blame it on the 2001-2003 tax cuts, nor does it even make sense. As for the deficit, it might be lower but it sure the hell is less of an effect on the budget than stimulus and probabaly has more economic benefit...
