Do you remember the Japanese buying Rock Center and Pebble Beach?
Quote from ShoeshineBoy:
If I understand what you are saying, I agree. We need cheap foreign imports from China, quality cars from Japan and cheap labor from Mexico. I don't understand what is so complex about all that.
It doesn't make us any less of a country that we are dependent to a certain extent on other nationalities. In fact, quite the opposite...
Tax=free health care?Quote from watchdaride:
We will never get off of the oil habit. We will never pay $20 for a towel that walmart will sell for $5 and the govt will always spend more than it collects . America loves to cut taxes to win elections. Look at Canada it has high <b>taxes</b> and its almost paid of its debt and have <b>free health care</b> and a very low poverty level and a strongh economy .
Quote from HoundDogOne:
You are correct.
Sooner or later... it will be the right time to invade Dubai.
Quote from risktaker:
If this were the Roman empire era, I might agree. But in this millenium, that strategy most likely won't work either. The US is already seen as a villain in much of the world. Do you really want to live in a country *hated* by the rest? It would have to be the biggest magic trick in the world to convince people that an invasion of Dubai or some other small Arab country was necessary and the right thing to do.

Free health care is an illusion. Taxpayers are paying for it. I really wish comparisons of a country like Canada with 40 million people to the US who has 300 million would stop. We have almost more illegals than Canada has citizens.
