Twenty years ago, the USA had the highest standard of living.

What are Norway, Australia, Iceland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Swede, France and Canada doing better than we? What do you think, doggie? Cutting taxes for the rich? :mj07:

DOGS THAT BARK · Aug 25, 2010

Would depend on what criteria is and who running poll--of course you omitted both.

Could be like tables showing countries with lower mortality rates--of course they don't have the homicides or vehicle accidents weighing in.

-would consider Australia and Canada (if warmer) --other wise you counld pay to move to any of others until you got down to 20 23 24.

You certainly appear to be a denmark candidate.
Yes?

--bottom line--I hate to burst your bubble but in the real world--most folks standard of living is directly proportional to their achievements in life regardless of where they live-
--but understandbly all have their base whose standard of living is dependent on what the gov provides --so I understand where "your" coming from. :0008

Let me guess Duff. In addition to concentrating the wealth of their nations in the top 2% of their populations with the promise that that wealth will "trickle down" to the masses, they borrow $Trillions from countries like China and Japan to finance their needless wars and cold-war era military bases around the globe, running up their national debt until it exceeds their GDP.

Yep, you're doing just fine, Trench. Keep it up and soon you'll be as prescient as doggie, who seems to think that the standard of living is inversely proportion to the mean temperature.

By his reasoning Siberia is richer than Kuwait.

It must be a neocon thing.

It's not a "poll", doggie, it's facts - but don't let the math throw you, there's probably a 12 yo nearby who can explain it to you.

I'm glad you can grasp that simple concept.

Better yet - wait until we have to sell the east coast and California to China to be able to pay for the monstrous health care plan.....

As long as less than 50% of the country pay Federal income tax, we'lll have a huge problem, with the folks that don't contribute (over half the country!) voting themselves rich - which is why we have Obama today... it certainly isn't due to his "leadership"

Lower tax rates for the "rich" and eliminate the deductions, so everyone feels the pain of paying Federal Income tax - it is appaling that less than half of our country contribute to federal income tax.....

How's that for ya! :00hour

Its a common sense thing--once you get some you might be able to move on from those looking for gov tit (socialism) and realize if you ever graduate to a productive person--your standard of living will be adaquate regardless of where you are.

on the common sense issue--what do all these top countries have in common that contributes to lower crime--lower mortality-higher literacy--lower illigetimcy--less poverty?

--lets take Norway for for example--

Playing the ethnic purity card, eh doggie? Okay, 'splain this -

Canada: British Isles origin 28%, French origin 23%, other European 15%, indigenous Indian and Inuit 2%, other, mostly Asian, African, Arab 6%, mixed background 26%

Anything jump out at yuh?

And the country which caters to your sexual preference would be...Greece? Yeah, that's it. :moon:

StevieD · Aug 26, 2010

The truth is that if you look at the difference between CEO pays and the regular workingman and how that has gapped up in the last 20 years you will see how we already went thru a redistribution of wealth as money was taken from the working man and put in the pockets of the rich. You will not see this reported in the Corporate Press though. What we need is a massive returning of the wealth to the people who will use it to move the economy and keep it moving. This of course does not fit in with the Neocon plan to destroy the middleclass. This is the real war we should be fighting.

The reason we have Obama is because of BOOOOSH and the Repubs inability to put up a viable candidate that wasn't fossilized.

LOL!!!! doggie always gets back to race-baiting. First he tries to hide it as ethnicity with his Norway example, when he gets his nuts busted on that, he trots out his usual "it's all those Jigaboos!" manure.

Okay, doggie, 'splain this one: SC is the most violent crime state in the country, TN is second most violent, NV is third, but they're far from the blackest.

http://www.census.gov/statab/ranks/rank21.html

Two of the three poorest states in the USA are AK and WV, and they're far from the blackest. In fact most of WV is mostly lily white.
