We do have crooked bankers to help the cash come in... all we need do is confiscate the money the steal. They are so greedy, they'd then go and do it again.

Norway without the oil or the sovereign wealth fund.

Or like Switzerland without giving despots somewhere to stash their money. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/03/switzerland-identifies-1bn-dictators-assets |

I'll start by saying I'm what used to be called a moderate and I try to stay away from ideology, I prefer reasonable solutions rather than right, left dogma. (by today's standards I look more like a raging pinko)
The west has slid further and further to the right and shows no signs of stopping. Europe hasn't been this right wing since the war and the UK since I don't know when. As for Trump across the pond.....well, what can I say except we have our own variety of idiot. For me the solution is Democracy with an informed and educated electorate. Since we have none of these ingredients I have to ask myself: Will our prospects for improving these things be better in or out of Europe........I'm still vacillating (must be the humidity) Edited by transient - 16 Jun 16 at 12:40pm |
