Quote by: Century 25  "You must be free to sell or hire labor." Like slavery.. child labor..?? Or importing illegal aliens and as many 3rd world "workers" as it can. Oh yes.. that is the Virginia Co.'s (America's) grand legacy. Now we ship all the possible jobs off-shore (been going on for many years now) - and still, the illegals come. |
Many immigrants come over illegally without being imported. There are still plenty of good jobs in America, but they require increases in human capital compared to the past. Honestly, I really don't know what you are ranting about.

As for your: "There are strong correlations between gdp/capita and reduction in infant mortality rates, increases in life expectancy, and curbing population growth." - What are you smoking..? there are 20 countries with less infant mortality than the United States. [/quote
6.4 out of a 1,000 is pretty damned good. Only market based economies marginally edge us out. I'd say that is pretty good compared to 30 out of a 1,000 in 1950.
As for life expectancy: Life Expectancy for Countries — Infoplease.com - we are well down the list.

78 year is pretty good (plus there is an obesity problem in the US). Like infant mortality rate, you are completely ignoring the correlation.

As for curbing population growth.. we now have: over 6.6 billion people on the earth..

It was bad rhetoric on my part. What I should have said is that an increase in gdp/capita leads to a decrease in children per woman. Surviving infant mortality and living longer is a dilemma. Again, bad rhetoric on my part.

As for the rest of your spiel. I won't waste my time.

Good, then don't. You want to abolish capitalism and replace it with what?

Are you here drumming up business..??

You are a acting like a clown. First off, how could I drum up business. I am not even associated with this
non-profit organization. Second, how do non-profits make a profit?
I started that thread in response to this anti-capitalist thread. I donate since it is the right thing to do. Instead of my money sitting in an non-interest bearing account, I circulate it to people in need to advance economic freedom. I believe in the individual and entrepreneurship. Instead of bitching about the world and committing libelous accusations, try contributing to the world.
