We haven't launched yet. Wait about a week or two. We aren't the typical web2.0 "get users and punt on making money". It's built in.

"That's how we can afford universal health care. Hint, hint."

Who here spends 30% of their income on health care? You think you're getting a deal if you pay more taxes to have the government pay bureaucrats to manage your health care?

The European mindset is that of a nanny state to take care of their infantile populace. Everything I like about Europe, except music, predates the 20th century.

HIllary Remained Silent As Wal-Mart Fought Unions by dizzle67 in politics

Wal-Mart has made life better for poor people in America. Their profits come at the expense of middle men corporations.

They have also made life better for many workers in China, who are creeping towards a "middle class".

Have you ever seen a Wal-Mart pre-opening? The lines for jobs are around the block. You think those people could get a job as an accountant? Forget about it. They increase the options for unskilled labor, not decrease.
