I admire those countries But I don't think America is evolving in that direction. I believe it is evolving into a situation like Greece.

I will pay taxes thru the ass if we get what is needed out of it. things for people. All the people Not bullshit like Ant Study to make some special interest voters happy at the expense of the other 99%.

What is in the back of people that say no more taxes minds is "They will piss it away, not try to pay down the deficit and want more"

The two party tribal politics system we have sucks. All they do is posture and spend money we don't have in order to get re elected.

They divide and pit one group against another. It could not be any clearer.

If I was able to change things I would study the Scandinavian countries and try to adopt their system. And I would study Greece and avoid those pitfalls.
