Because no one will lend them money. It's a bad investment, a risky proposition.
you aren't really that ignorant are you? i pray you're playing devils advocate on this
Actually, I was just making a joke.
Not sure what your point is? That people have it better in those countries? I thought your post was funny is all.
sarcasm rarely translates in script. but agreed
Because they don't give anything to their citizens whereas we give a lot to ours and the rest of the world for that matter.
Give to ours? You have got to be kidding yourself.
Social security, medicaid, medicare, food stamps, earned income tax returns, some of the highest spending on "free" K-12 education, college Pell grants, scholarships etc. Wake up already.
Do you have any idea how much the SS system would be worth had it been unrobbed and dispersed as originally intended, for just the first three years of it's inception? Over 1 trillion dollars. SS is paid by the people at a rate of roughly 16% of every dollar earned. This money was stolen and gone long ago. It was never managed and invested and never belonged to our government to spend.
Free education? You must rent and not pay taxes.
The biggest handouts, welfare etc are those for the wealthy. The little bit handed to those at the bottom don't even remotely compare to what is given, tax free, to the wealthiest and multi-nationals.
You wake up.
The poor, unemployed people in the US have it better than a lot of the working people. The handouts given at both the federal and state level are sickening.
It is creating a culture of poor, lazy people who expect things. I don't understand how handouts are not tied to some type of community service. Maybe if they got out once in awhile and did some kind of work, the poor people in this country would not be so obese.
I never said it was a fair or even good system, but you insinuated that money is not redistributed in this nation when in fact, it is. The problem begins with the disparity between the have's and have not's. The regular working people have not seen a true increase in their worth in nearly 40 years while our masters have increase a couple hundred times.
Laws like the minimum wage has done nothing to help us and can be argued that has actually helped to keep wages low while stock holders have been able to ensure that CEO's reap all of the rewards for the labor of others. I would rather see a maximum wage enacted so that those excessive profits would be distributed more evenly to the workers based on their contribution rather than just based on their title.
Again, the lion's share of the distribution goes to the masters.... handouts for the working impoverished are merely a drop in the bucket compared to the huge concentrations of wealth the government and the the fed take from the people and have for them and theirs.
free education zero % on all loans, all resonable loans pre-approved zero debt for all citizens
I'm just talking about Libya
land given back to the people who had it robbed by land-lords who pre-sold their farm yeilds.
