Like Mexico? No taxes there.

You need transportation infrastructure, education, research, safety, intellectual property protection, healthcare. Like it or not, we need people who sit under a bodhi tree and do all their work with a pen and recycled paper napkin.

Yes there are. Not to mention, Mexico is one of the most politically corrupt, fascist countries in the world.

All those things you mention can be provided privately, better than they are now. Except, for intellectual property protection which is really just a scam against private property and competition in the market. There's no patent for WD-40, wonder why nobody as run them out of business? Common sense: If you don't want your secret out, don't publish it in a world-wide accessible database. The whole concept is asinine.

The federal government just shut down over a little snow. The world didn't end.

Ideal Town's Plant May be Epicenter of Toyota's Woes



Toyota’s decision to suspend Canadian and U.S. sales of eight of its most popular models -- including the best-selling Camry -- follows reports last week about problems with gas pedals in some models. Those problems have been traced to a plant in Mississauga, Ont.
