It's not that the Europeans are less innovative as a people. It's just that government is so big and the laws governing commerce so draconian and taxes so high, it's not worth the time and energy to become an entrepreneur in most cases. Maybe that changes the culture over time, but I've...

That's why my aunt is obsessed with keeping her business "under the radar" - including no bank accounts in Russia.

luck happens when hard work meets opportunity.

BTW, I can't possibly be the only one who thinks Tiny Tim Geithner looks fishy. The guy looks about as trustworthy as a common street crook.

No, the line that shouldn't have been crossed was crossed when the Fed engineered the sale of Bear Stearns. Come to think of it, the line that shouldn't have been crossed was the establishment of the Fed in the first place. Now that our money and interest rates are centrally planned, I...

Cash for votes is exactly what this is. Only problem is that the money to pay for this has to come from productive individuals.....and that herd is thinning.

Government CAN do something. It can lower taxes to encourage investment and hiring. But how does that help the politicians? No, the best thing for politicians is to use this crisis to grow government through "stimulus". If government were to cut taxes and hold down its own...

That's not women's lib run amok. That's stupidity run amok. You guys should be careful. This is what trophy wives are like.

LOL! You need to see a doctor for all that foaming at the mouth.

Take a look at those maps again. Looks like the fat is pretty evenly split between red and blue.

Jacob, you're 29 pounds overweight. That's not obese! I bet you have good blood pressure and you're fit. You're not costing the insurance pool. The fact that health insurance is still arbitrarily tied to employment is a disaster. If BHO is really about reforming health care, he'd start there.

Move to a place with no cars. Problem solved.

Can't argue with the logic, eh? Can't think why you have the right to dictate to others. Must be very frustrating for you.

So a liberal seeks to dictate what people can do with their bodies. How is that liberal? I'm on the fringe, dude. I believe in legalizing drugs and prostitution and lifting prohibitions on people supplying organs.

BTW, a lot of these surrogate mothers also donate an egg - so, they're literally selling not only space but an actual part of their body. Think, man. Think. Lots of people feel compelled to do lots of things. It's ultimately their choice and their families'. Is it really your choice...

Very good, Thunderthighs. So, let me get this straight....you would rather let a family starve to death than allow them by the grace of your superior majesty to sell an organ? You would take that choice away from them. Very compassionate. BTW, while "selling your organs is all the rage"...

I don't drink soft drinks or eat junk and I'm on the low end of normal weight, so I feel your shock. I've lived here for 35 years and I'm still a bit shocked how much portions have grown. What do you expect politicians to do exactly? Show up at people's houses and force them to exercise at...

awe....hit the submit button mid-edit. But, I think even a weakling like you gets the point, Thunderthighs.

LOL, thunderpoo! So, you realize your position is illogical - you, in fact, have no more right to dictate whether a person has the right to sell his kidney than you have the right to force a woman to carry a fetus to maturity or dictate what people may eat or whom they can sleep with and...

One more thing.... What right do you have to tell even a poor person that he can't sell his kidney to come up with the money for a downpayment for a house if he values the house more than the kidney, oh dumb little fascist?
