I don't have any knowledge of Laos and I am not arguing with you. In Laos, you probably could live like kings for $5.60 because most people make less than that in a week or even a month. The people who start companies deserve immense respect for the hard work and amazing ability they have as well as helping to keep the US economy strong. But there is no merit in the way those companies stay on top in many cases and ultimately outsource jobs to foreign countries which hurts us by taking jobs and certainly does not benefit the foreign nation. There is way more to this topic than I could ever hope to understand or communicate. But anyway this tread is getting off topic largely due to me for which I apologize.
I got you. We're of like mind. I'm just ranting.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
