You've obviously never been to Russia. Sorry, but the Russians have the flat tax, a corporate tax much lower then ours, trial by jury, private property rights (something we no longer have), half the laws and regulations we are under, CHRISTIAN education in the public schools (can't even say the word Christian in ours) and a host of other things.
Furthermore, US oil companies own quite a few gas stations in Russia.
WOW!!!!! You make Russia sound like a paradise. I guess I've been fooled into thinking they were a COMMUNIST country. Sounds like they have more freedoms than us. Let's all move there and live the good life, huh?
Why, just think how close we all could become by sharing the toilet paper and splitting our dinner (a potato) with the one you love. You forgot to add that they all drive new SUV's and live in million dollar estates!
I think I get your drift, as I, too, am very disturbed about the current situation in the U.S. and property rights et.al. If I'm wrong and you think Russia IS a better place to live than here then.........when are you leaving? I'll help buy your ticket.
