Have the producers of trash like ‘American Idol’ and ‘The OC’ honestly earned their money?

I’d say yes to both.

I agree that anyone who is going to get effected by inheritance tax (people who inherit in excess on $2m a year) will most likely persuade their benefactors to employ some bogus corporate structure to evade those taxes.

Chalk one up for universal healthcare.

But like I say, the high number is a result of our ambition to help families have children who might otherwise be unable to. Also people will spend a lot of money to try and save what most systems would consider lost causes. So the statistic isnt exactly an apples to apples comparison. If other nations used as much IVF and spent as much money trying to save premature babies (that have no chance) then their numbers would be higher too.

eagleeye, I wish i had seen that one! It sounds great, I really like Coronado. What sources did you use to find it, whenever I look on craigslist there is an overwhelming amount of chancers trying to cover their carry costs by ‘wishing’ for super high rents.

US: 6.4
Mexico: 19.6
China: 22.1
India: 34.6

Dont forget Cuba!

Cuba: 5.3

Cuba ended 2006 recording its lowest infant mortality rate ever with 5.3 infant deaths per every thousand live births according to the W.H.O.

According to the latest C.I.A. World Factbook, Cuba is
one of 41 countries that have better infant mortality rates than the U.S.

I believe this is because there is so much IVF treatment going on here that babies get born prematurely much more often. If the child is born and stabilizes, then the baby has a much better chance of survival than the 6.3/1000 figure suggests because about 50% of infant mortality is after premature births.

Inheritance taxes are higher in the US in the upper band.

Inheritance tax is not unfair in my mind. I think a society where people earn their place and lifestyle is preferable to one where you can just inherit it. Let everyone stand on their own 2 feet.

There should however be a 100% exception if the estate is passing to your long term spouse.

If you are a non-resident alien you owe on every cent of US sourced income during your stay. If you are here > 186 days you are a resident alien and owe on every cent of worldwide income. It’s as simple as that. Your greencard will get declined if you are not up to date with the IRS.

On a slight tangent… Being an american citizen puts you in a really bad position if you ever wanted to emigrate as you owe the IRS for every cent you earn worldwide no matter where you decide to live. This is pretty much the only nation in the world that has its claws that deep into its people’s pocketbooks. There really is no escape.

“Brits are poor; that’s why they have bad teeth.”

Comedy gold!

I think the median income could be higher as per capita would be the mean. That means that there are more poor people in the US than the UK but there are richer people in the US than the UK. Ergo UK is the fairer society.
