>>>You refuse to give an answer on my question of 'what about the MDs' and now asking for an explanation of the word socialism?
>>>
>>>Indeed, only the stupid and sensative tea party american will get irritate by such a question that ends with a smily.
>>>
>>>Walter, I gave you an answer. You didn't like the "packaging" surrounding the answer. I refuse to do your research for you.

>>>Physicians, engineers, scientists have left Europe for the United States. It's not my fault you're too mule-headed to see the writing on the wall. The United States, even with its flaws, is the greatest country in the world. There is a reson for that - one of them is that we have a politico-economic system that, despite its mixes, is the best system around.
>>
>>Why do I personally know a few american physicians and scientists that have LEFT the US recently? Again, your so full of your percieved greatness of your own country that your not able to see whats going on outside of it. Yes the US attracks high schooled people from all over the world, mainly to build up a better future. In the past they mainly came from europe, but nowerdays much more from other regions of the world. But that does not make the economic situation for John and jane Doe any better, does it?
>>
>>Well believe what you want to believe, to me the US is a country that is on the edge of getting a 3rd world country. The split between poor and rich and the smaller getting middleclass is not a healthy sign by far. I've seen much more of the US (and that includes pennsylvania and the neighbourhood arround phillydelphia that reminded my travelling to 3rd world countries) than you have seen about europe. I visit the US quite regulary, different states, different cities and have quite a few friend in the US. I travel quite a lot through europe as well, the poor countries and the richer ones.
>>
>>So please tell me which countries outside of the US did you visit recently?
>>
>>Dream on Kevin,

>Walter, how many Tea Party rallies have you visited? not recently, at all? :). But you think you know all about them.

>Btw, I have been to Europe more times than you ever been to the US. I have been following many blogs of professionals in Spain. And I bet you that if you ask 100 random people on the streets of Spain or Ireland, who are not the government hacks, why their countries are in big trouble economically, 90% of them will say it is the liberal and social policies of their governments that are major problem. But you won't believe me, you know so much better :).

Irelands problems are pretty firmly in the court of the banks. The Irish tiger economy was very much about free enterprise and entreupneurs.
