okay

How do you respond to a post where literally every statement is wrong?

Capitalism is the lifeblood of an economy. There is no true market without it. Markets that depend on government intervention tend to stagnate, have high unemployment numbers, and fall deeper into government subsidization. See France prior to Sarkozy. See Venezuela now. Unfortunately, the US seems to be embracing government interference in private business, rather than despising it.

Which powerhouse economies are being driven by socialized countries? Free market capitalism is god in here. The 'evils' of American capitalism are what drove the country from nothing to power in 200 years, and government interference is what will break it down in 20.

There is no 'health care time-bomb', it's a fabricated issue by election-year politicians. There was no crisis prior to the elections, then suddenly there was? Please.
There is an issue with health care, no doubt, just as there is in Europe with government-run health care raising taxes every year to try to cover runaway costs in a failing system.

I'm all for Europe being a powerhouse of an economy, but carbon-trading isn't the way to do it. You stay ecologically sound and 'make things better' (whatever that means), I'll buy goods from Asia and America, as I do now.

Government subsidization of windpower and other green technologies is nice and all, but it's the small, private companies with no grants that are doing all the real innovation in the green area. They have investment and capital from those that see a profit in the future - and that's how it should work.

Go ahead and repeat all of your little statements to yourself, over and over. Maybe you'll convince yourself that they're true.
