“In this case, just about all the other runners have even greater problems with these issues than we do. For example, just about all the other advanced economies take a greater proportion of earnings in taxes than the US does.”

Respectfully, this fine Saturday morning...

So what?

We, as a nation, are overtaxed...

Growth, entrepreneurship, risk taking and capital formation take place when the people have their money and not the government.

These are just not platitudes...

Let's remove the shackles of government from the people and we will do more than win a mere race. We will win in dazzling style. Liberty.

Whether we have the best of all possible systems was not the article’s argument. I agree we do not, and would probably agree with many of your ideas for making it better.

The article’s claim is that other systems are working better than ours economically. This is factually incorrect at this point in time, although it could certainly become true at some point in the future.

Given the fact that we are presently carrying the defense/police burden for the entire world so that international trade can go on, I think we’re performing admirably.
