Live in underdeveloped countries sucks. No matter what the laws say, and how many rights you have on paper your life sucks.
Developed countrys have it made. Almost all developed countrys have good education systems, good health systems, human rights, and they treat the environment better.
Every type of economic system has been tried in ths past one hundred years and now, through trial and error, everyone that has been paying attention knows there are certain economic policies that lead to growth. And this is basically the free market approach. So lets review.
Free markets lead to growth, then prosperty. Developed countrys governments generally respect human rights and educate their populations.
Screwed up economic policies leads to poverty were womens rights, equal rights etc. don't do you much good because you are starving and your life sucks. Government can't help much because it has no money.
So free markets are pretty much the most important thing a country should focus on.
It is not that complicated. Why can't the morons on this board get this simple concept.

2. I consider myself a non-moron, an anti-moron even. I have, however, been fascinated with the left's moronic disdain for free markets for decades. going beyond your last quesiton, what is it about socialism and/or communism that attracts the Democrats and other liberals in our country and Western Europe?
the only answer I have consistently hit on is that these people are so lacking in self-esteem and self-confidence that they need to have create and uphold an illusion of an all-powerful and benevolent nanny state that will save them from their own inadequacy. Mixed in here is a general fear and aversion to the concept of personal responsibility. Scary, but I pin the blame on the union controlled public schools.
