I'm sure California could have lower energy prices, if they raised taxes to
pay the difference. Then, they could be just as socialist as Albeeta.

How is giving my money to big banks NOT Socialist? *And why do Socialist
countries have a much
higher standard of living than we do?

Care to give an example of such a socialist country with a higher
standard of living than that in the US?

Hi,
Define higher standard of living? Material well being is just a one part
of standard of living. When visited Scandinavian countries this summer,
they seem to be more aware of world affiars and current issues. They
seemed more intelligent! They could all speake Englsih. How many of you
can speak one of their language for an example?- Hide quoted text -

Visiting a country is not living in that country and is a very poor
measure of their standard of living. I have visited Mexico on several
occasions and based on those visits would have to wonder whay so many
illegal aliens are coming to the US. I know though that beyond the
areas that tourists visit, the economy of Mexico is not all that it
seems. The same is true in any country and those Scandinavian
countries are no exception. They have their own issues and they are
facing many problems of their own.
