Actually I think it’s how America could become under The Republicans & bush, you see in china you’ve got large-scale corruption and unaccountable officials, Thus they have no incentive to do anything other than what they are told by their superiors and turn a blind eye to profiteering as long as they line their pockets.
If you look at America today, Bush wasn’t even elected, They push through tax cuts to benefit the rich etc, And many electoral results are a forgone conclusion, Thus creating less accountability thus less good behaviour on the part of those in power.[/QUOTE] Man you really have been indoctrinated [img]smile.gif[/img] Your view on the Reps. and Bush is way skewed dude. Though I will admit that the Reps. these days are not tooooo different from the Dems. Tax cuts never just benefit the rich, as much as people keep claiming to the contrary, Im not rich and tax cuts have helped me and my family keep moreof our income. Capital gains tax cuts can benefit anyone who is going to sell a home, and you do not need to be rich to own a home. The ridiculous death/estate tax is just anti-american no matter how you look at it. At best it is double taxation at worst it is confiscation by the government of other peoples properties. The people who think it is just are just jealous because they do not belong to a wealthy family. There is no moral or ethical justifcation that can be brought for it. (unless you want to argue the morality of a free capitalistic society)
