That's right. I can tell you from personal experience. I lived in Japan from 1995 to 2000. I had the Social National Health Insurance. I paid $70 a month in premiums, which was matched by my employer. It covered full medical AND dental for me, my wife and two kids. I could choose any...

The world is an uncertain place with mired with 2 World Wars and a World Depression in the 20th Century. Only Americans are naive and complacent enough with watching American Idol to rag on gold investors while losing their collective arse daytrading and "investing"

I have just spoken with a chinese guy with a wife and two kids who has two jobs (both part-time) one at a fast food place and one in a casino on the weekends. He still finds the time and trades the little money he scrapes together. His wife works so does his brother, the parents look after the...
