Because I grew up here and America is my home. Plus America has a lot more to fix than Sweden. My vote milage goes farther here

Truth be told I am looking into moving there by next year (I have dual citizenship).

You took time to reply to him... But you are still avoiding answering my questions...

Please answer the questions... that you seem to be avoiding.
Why is the unemployment rate what it is here? I don't know.

>Their standard of living is practically the same as ours, yet...they earn thousands less and pay more than double the taxes.

Free medical, free dental, better social programs (like all youth getting $100 per month for clothes until they are 16), etc. My friends over there make LESS than I do here in America but can still put away more money in their savings accounts than I can every month.

>And whats your opinion on the profit and loss system of accounting?

I'm not avoiding this question, I just don't have enough knowledge on the subject. You are a business major right? What is your opinion?

Hilary Clintons obviously wants to run for president in 2008. but she denies it.

she supported and lived through her husbands affair while staying with him (which should not decide her for office) but shows lack in judgement

she is now, after deciding to run, is trying to appeal to conservative crowds like that idoit idea she is supporting for Grand Theft Auto. being a conservative girl myself, she looks like an idiot.

caf32489 welcome to the forums. Please feel free to say hello in the "Introduce Yourself" forums.

I think you are 100% correct. Oh how much I would like to see a debate between Rice and Clinton in 2008. Rice would eat her alive.

She is an idiot. She's worse than her husband.

Agreed. But I'd rather see Powell or Clarke.

The whole reason i think she might be trying to go moderate is so everyone might not call her a radical and some moderate conservatives might decide to vote for her...

Of course there's gonna be a woman president (if you like it or not) but it sure isnt going to be Hillary (the woman named after that mountain- HAHA)
