Default Re: ROI for governments

That's a very particular and sometimes dangerous way to define the wealth and power of a nation. At least, before you get television into a few generations.

In a practical sense, ask yourself how much America has benefited by having enough general wealth, not concentrated wealth, to attract immigrants for hundreds of years. Do people swarm to move toward or away from places that provide general economic opportunity? Nobody would move to hell and build a nation there if the opportunity was only for the few who already had it.
