European's view on politics

[Sled Puller]

I 'd say your Liberals are siply up to date,if they tell the others what to do,but the same rules are not applicable to them. We have ONLY such politicians,regardless of the name of their political party. They tell us how hard WE must work,and how thrifty WE must spend,and they will bring us prosperity some day in future,but themselves live in prosperity now. You in USA have it bad-you have only 2 approximatelly equall parties. I suppose you should approach this topic with more creativity-originate a couple of political parties with more interesting names and programs. Some years ago before the parliament elections in Lavia there was a Fools party, their slogan was:
'we shall steal less than those in the power now"
,sad enough, the ruling establishment denied this party access to the parliamental elections. You see how entertaining politics could be with the appropriate approach.

All our politicians are here to make themselves rich,it's called Democracy.

don't know how it's in USA,but in Europe it's all over the same,our politicians regardles of the party are simply cheaper as their colleagues in western Europe. But if some one has money,he can buy them all.

Comments?

You still have it better in the USA,you may bear your arms legally,we here must hide them,or live without,and if some teenage junky or totally poor victim of the new economic policy of this corrupt and already sold country sneakes in to rob you,the only relief (legal one) is the guard dog. Mine is sharp enough and growing.
Tax reductions were nice as well,but taxes are growing,
especially hard they hit the small people.

Sales tax here is 18% on all goods and services you purchase legally,but income tax is 25% linear-REGARDLESS,EARNS SOMEONE 10 OR 10 MILLION!
Don't need to say that tax economy here is a national art of sport! And politicians even don't think to leave us alone,they are everywhere:
if you unwilling heare them on the radio,see on the pages of newspapers,not to mention the TV,all the time promissing, promissing. I have small hope here in the BSE-they all have eaten Big Macs from McDonalds, as a flagship of the Western civilization,no doubt the meat was from European Community,may be so in the naturall way they'll be eliminated.
Hope my english is good enough to understand,if not,please make corrections in my letter,if you post it & forgive because it's not my native,but only one of four different languages I speak.
Let's hope in better times,and have a good time!
