U.S. Should Take a Lesson from Chile

Everyone wants to go to America...the dream. Try out the Lakes district in Chile. Let me see now; Everyone puts 10% of their earned income into a fund of their choice for retirement. The only thing that the government of Chile gets is a piece of paper verifying that you are doing this. How does that compare to our Social insecurity system that is totally socialised and abused by the government. And at todays pace I will never see a dime of my money from America's great experiment. And Chile has less income tax too. Santiago is like any city...dirty and with lots of poor. Let me take you down the streets of Chicago, or LA ...no better here. I am presently working in the Middle East, been from Asia to Nicaragua to the 10 region of Chile to Canada to Europe and everyone wants to go to America..."we all live in America" or so the song goes. Personaly I like Chile and they have been a lot smarter with their money and their people get to keep more of what they earn. 234 years for America to go into debt to a tune of 1 trillion $ and in 18 months we are in debt to the tune of x3 or x5 or even x9 if everyone was truthful. You probably believe the unemployement figures too. Once you run out of unemployment money well you just don't get counted any more. Whose the socialist now? And we havn't seen anything yet. The new administration and the new Congress is going to see to that. You will get your change...but go ahead and keep it!
