Ustwo, those other countries don't have the entrepreneurial tradition we do. Around here, if there is a market niche to be served, someone will serve it.
I see no reason to continue enriching Hugo Chavez and the Saudi royal family by paying them for the right to pollute our air and use up our land in inefficient ways. The pricing mechanism is the ONLY form of social engineering I find acceptable, because it preserves people's freedom. No one is forced to do or not do anything; they simply have the right to choose whether or not to pay for their preferences.
