[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4470393, member: 52145"] very interesting . I always wanted to visit there , Finland, etc. Funny how he says they totally trust their government , zero corruption , black sheep ( free thinkers? ) . They have huge taxes and have cradle to grave security. Hard to understand their philosophy. Meanwhile America has terrible problems with crime , corruption, corrupt government but people all over the world are beating down our doors to live here. I lived in South East Asia for several years. Everyone we spoke to wanted to live in the USA. The opportunity to do what you want and the hope of getting rich is the American Dream and still alive and well. In most countries there are too many barriers for personal success. I'm hoping though we here in America could adopt some of their ideas to make America a better place, especially their prison system. Social programs and socialism costs money and therefore more taxes but the tradeoff seems positive. In America the distance between the haves and have nots is widening all the time and the middle class is being decimated which is really the backbone of America. We are headed towards another violent revolution if we are not already there. [/QUOTE]
