Jumping Christ in a handbasket what a moronic quote...surely this was said tongue in cheek? The freer a country is the more it prospers. Good god almighty you couldn't be any more ignorant than to believe any such tripe as that. The most prosperous nations on earth and in the history of mankind have all been HEAVILY REGULATED. There is NO ownership of ANYTHING without regulations that ensure private property rights BUT impede on the freedoms of others to use property, steal property or otherwise prevent its use by its rightful owner. Somalia is a great example of a truly free nation....people in Somalia are free to do just about anything they have the intestinal fortitude to do because there is no one to stop them if they are intent on doing it....that's prosperous??
There are a BUNCH of socialist economies in Europe and they make a BUNCH of truly good beer. The United States, I know, is not a socialist economy in y'alls eyes (it is as much as any European nation but that'll make many of you spit up) and presumably as prosperous as a nation gets...and makes some seriously LOUSY beer that it sales by the boat load.....the entire premise is exactly the kind of silliness that Fox puts out and many of you eat with a spoon....

I'd put America's beer up against ANY BEER, worldwide. Our craft beer market is heads and tails better than anything in the word. The only category that could contend is geueze/lambic in Belgium vs. American sours, and even then, i've enjoyed far more American sours than Belgian sours. Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, and a couple others are the outlier.

Fox didn't "put it out", genius. They just reported it. Economists wrote the book on it. Do you deny that the truly socialist countries can't produce quality...anything really?
