If you want prosperity and the opportunity for a better life you need to lay the ground work with a solid educational system, tax policy that rewards success and a culture that prides individual responsibility and hard work. We have been going in the opposite direction for a lot of years.

All excellent points. And all due to get worse under a socialist administration.

And all due to get worse under a socialist administration.

My thinking exactly!

I think our schools do such a bad job of teaching economics at the high school level (if it's done at all) that there is no understanding of how capital moves based on return. China is one destination right now, but long term I think it will be India that attracts the greatest investment. America is doing everything to chase away investment especially with our head long rush to "mommy govt" to solve everything.

The Pubs could have fought against this, but didn't and with the bailout have made themselves irrelevant.
