Attention Non-US Residents: Teach Us The Error of Our Ways

There is a big problem with the $20 and the coins though. Unfortunately, we have put the head of a detestable English hereditary monarchy on our currency. It's pretty embarrassing. If we must have an English chick on our currency I'd be a lot happier if we went with Keeley Hazell or Lucy Pinder instead.
I will conclude my little experiment by simply saying that there are not a whole lot of Americans going onto web sites created within other countries, touting the virtues of the American Way. However, many obnoxious Canadians, Brits, Aussies, Germans, et al come onto American web sites, where people engage in the discussion of the U.S. financial markets (i.e. ET) and continually insist that we are a bunch of losers and they are the enlightened ones. Amazing. Surely all the brilliant minds from around the world are capable of creating such web sites in your own respective countries - which is part of my point as well. If America is such a horrible country run by horrible people, why come onto an AMERICAN web site to discuss the U.S. financial markets? Why not just discuss the wonderful TSX and create a Canadian web site or UK site or German site - etc... I rest my case... and thank you again for helping to prove my point. Amidst all of the ad hominem attacks on Americans and the U.S. in general, none of you made an attempt to provide any type of coherent data to back-up your assertion that your nation's system is superior. Ah, but we are the arrogant ones, I keep forgetting.
I LOVE the title of this post.....and the answer is "oh so simple", but the solution is NOT:
"the USA has too many laws, too many lawyers", no de-legislators....ie we can't get rid of obsolete laws that bog down every day life.
Instead of INNOVATING, we're SUFFOCATING.
End of story....end of America's capitalism.

Not that I am snobbish. Although you don't need to have a Ph.D to post on this board, but gimme a breakt at least you should have a decent background on macro econ. Ppl are just too lazy to give a lecture on econ101.
Just to read some "intro to macro economics" and you will see the fallacy...
You forget that America's lead is in popular culture (but don't be surprised if the website is maintained by Indians).
Its hard to tell how arrogant one is if one is sitting in the middle of a system supporting those views -- would you say that Archie Bunker was arrogant?
And just being dumb doesn't generate humility --- George B seems on the surface to be humble but his policies (our way should be everyone's way) are the epitome of arrogance.
On the economy - its not that the US of A is so bad, its just that anyone who keeps spending more than they earn eventually gets problems. Going to war out of arrogance doesn't help much either especially when the peace is such a b'stard.
LOL
You want to explain to you (with my slow typing fingers) in a few pages and couple of minutes what took me FOUR years to learn at University? sorry Again you can easily pick it up by reading any decent introductory macro econ text. Just skim teh first few chapters on growth, inflation and carefully read the chapters on international trade, balance of payments, etc.LOL I'm not a genius.
