(in response to the earlier comment that was "when did HN become a forum for politics" prior to edit - though I think this still applies) I'd agree that topics like this clearly straddle the line but they're also of interest to at least some of us - especially given the underlying question of what policies help/hurt us and create wealth? Some politics are unavoidable given their impact on startups.
It's also a pretty interesting factoid especially in the aftermath of the financial crisis that provides a bit of perspective where nearly every country is doing some introspective as to how it happened and when at least the US is about to adopt some policies that you could call European.
