Hello Studio (and Mark) ! <Grin>!
Geesh, Mark did a damn good job answering this post, I really don't need to say anything more!! I would only add: That in my opinion, the unemployment in Germany is far higher than the numbers reflect, at least in the Köln/Dusseldorf/Bonn region where I am currently residing. I see it first hand, especially among the Turks and Russians who are also immigrants here in Deutschland. Amongst these groups, I would estimate that the unemployment rate is far above 50 percent. Also, keep in mind, that Deutschland is the economic dynamo of Europa, and Germany's economy far outweighs any other Nation-State within the European Union. The rest of Europe is literally envious, and looks to Germany (through the EU) to bail them out. Germans are pissed off about the fact that they are now financing Portugal, Spain and other EU Nation State's retirement plans, (and entire government's!) which are far more lavish than the German retirment benefits. Another observation: I have had a chance now to experience the German socialized medicine program first hand. It doesn't work, unless you have money to buy your way out of the socialized portion of it. To be dependent upon the "free" socialized medicine, means that you will die. If Germans knew how our system worked, there would be a revolution in this Nation to instill a capital market system much like what we have. It is very similar now anyway, those that can afford to pay, do so, those that cannot, depend upon the government, but the services are not nearly as good as what one expects or receives in the United States. Although I possess a Juris Doctorate, I am not a member of the Florida Bar. I pay no taxes to Deutschland, (other than the normal value added tax, rent tax, and every other socialistic tax that the Germans have instilled) but instead, pay taxes to my Nation, the United States of America. Once Again, more Moonbat spin and rhetoric by communists such as Studio, who believe that Socialism, Communism, Maoism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Marxism, Engelsism, *et. al*, are all really wonderful economic and political social systems, if we only had the right folks to implement them and run them! Finally, I will be returning back to Tampa (and Washington D.C.) here soon, as my visa is going to expire at the end of this month. I will be back!
