As a justification, “unification is too expensive” seems downright outrageous? You just go ahead and be outraged, then, Joe. The Koreans I know seem to be right about there. Trust in government fits in, too. We probably would easily find many conservatives and small-business types who agree that our health insurance system needs some reform, but who don’t trust Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the two Emanuels (professional slanderer, Chief of Staff Rahm and his brother, the plug-pulling “bioethicist” Ezekiel) to do the reforming. Likewise, almost any Korean with a business or a nest egg probably won’t trust the griftocrats in Seoul and the vicious, totalitarian Communist, serial liars up North to take on such a huge, risky operation.
On Rahm-ie, please re-read “professional slanderer” as “professional blackmailer”. Think that’s a better fit. Thanx.
Businessmen and small owners in the United States don’t have (1/3) of half of their country working as slaves. It’s not the same when you talk about not trusting a government that you disagree with (the Obama Administration) and not trusting the DPRK. You’re analogy is downright ridiculous.
