And this "Kommy" [sic] state had a conservative government for the last 10+ years [until Howard was unseated]. But interestingly, the elimination of div taxes and estate taxes was enacted under a Labor govt (a "socialist" govt by US standards on many issues) ... food for thought - we still haven't managed this under Bush. And the "Kommy" (code for something in your lexicon) Aussies went into Afghanistan and Iraq early.
I've had the economics debate w/ Art Laffer - he's started to come around to some points.
OK, this is all OT so feel free to flame me via PM  |
Yes, Kanada is socialist. USA rocks (unless you need healthcare)
