    Exactly; people like Al Gore, who sells himself carbon credits.

    Yeah, and he has the biggest carbon footprint ever seen in the whole universe.
    Seriously, he has how many private jets.

    I hate GW Bush, but I think he has been less catastrofic then Al Gore, he makes Man Bear Pig look like an innocent lamb.

    Al Gore hasn't been part of the government for twelve years, and before that he was the vice president. Vice presidents are abut as important and functional as **** on a boar hog. So what's your point?

    Tryng to use two tiny places renowned mostly as tax havens for the wealthy as examples of how the US should be run makes no sense to me. Although apparently it does to the current crop of Republican candidates... and who do you think is financially supporting their campaigns?

    Quite so. Coming from England, I know the Daily Mail perfectly well to be something similar to the Inquirer in the USA, and a rabid right-wing rag at that. If you believe what they publish I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

    Singapore was built and run buy the original inhabitants who have seen one of the worlds biggest increases in standards of living.
    The fact that you call it a tax haven shows how badly the rest of the world runs.
    There is 7% sales tax and everybody living there pays income tax
    There is 120% tax on cars ( all imported)
    Is has no oil no fee energy and wasnt built on wealthy people fleeing other parts of the world.

    The modern take on a tax haven is just people voting with their feet and going to well run countries which really only means they have a handle on spending and taxing.
    The badly run and massivley indebted countries think tax tax tax as it gets votes but it destroys your country and they have all proved it
    None of them have a handle on spending, typical of liberal thinking

    IF the US has 47% of it inhabitants on the receiving end and not contributing then there is a slight problem one would think.
    Making law to keep that 47% happy is the road to ruin unless you all believe you have a magic machine that prints money....

    120%? The tax on the car is more than the car?
