Maybe like America's First Amendment, in there mainly to keep the Episcopals and the Puritans from tearing each other to shreds.

Democratic socialism is about getting along, not about being all lovey-dovey.

Those are reverse take-overs to escape American taxes, already among the lowest in the world.

If you sell yourself to a company with a staff of three -- the lawyer, the accountant, and the tekkie -- with a nominal home in Luxemburg, or anywhere else but with its "operating" subsidiaries in say Freeport, Grand Bahama, you're home free.

So I guess we can see why you post anonymously...

Oh, yeah--and in that 'country' called Scandanavia, you don't fork over 1/4 of your salary to the 'health insurance' protection racket. So your 'health care' taxes actually pay for that cat scan, not a hedge funder's yacht.

The Rebs do not want to foot the bill for having a country in decent operating condition. They just shit anywhere they feel like and call the people who complain a bunch of whiners.
