This isn't ppp. This is market pricing which is far more complex than ppp,
and has literally noting to do with ppp.

No, it's not accurate at all. The REAL average income in China is $25 per
month, which is more than enough to live comfortably on. I know Russians
who went to China so they could earn more money, because after 75 years of
being controlled by the jews, the average income of Russians is now one
third of the Chinese.

Yeah, right. If it's "incredibly expensive", then how exactly did the
Japanese manage to put FIFTY ONE PERCENT (51%) of their income into
personal savings in one month. You don't seem to be able to comprehend the
term
"percent", so let's break it down into something you feminazis may be able
to appreciate: American dollars. In just ONE MONTH, the AVERAGE Japanese
household ADDED another 554,351 yen to their personal savings accounts, the
equivalent of $5,039.

Do you understand how weak your argument about their "high prices" is?

What ppp does NOT take into account is far more important than what it DOES
take into account. It does NOT take into account that the Japanese pay only
9.9% for taxes, yet they get dinged for having shorter school hours than us
(even though they scored 105 TIMSS math points higher at the 8th grade
level). It does NOT take into account that they SAVED ANOTHER $5,039 in
JUST ONE MONTH, but dinged them for their "high
prices".
ppp is a complete and total jewish con job, just like cpi is.

To have a "constitution" which calls for private property ownership at one
end, and a government which takes so much of incomes that we have a NEGATIVE
personal savings rate at the other end, makes the mere concept of "private
property" a sick joke.
Don't rely just on this comparison to Japan. NO country, not even
non-industrialized countries, have NEGATIVE personal savings rates. Go down
the list http://christianparty.net/bottomline.htm . Singapore saves 52%.
Even Vietnam has a 7% savings rate, but they don't spend all of this paying
off HUGE debts, like the ones we have. Even Kenya saves 21%. South Korea
saves 35%, and their debt is minimal compared to their savings. Thailand
saves 37%.
We threw King George out over a 1% "tea tax", then implemented so many other
taxes that 43% of every American wage dollar is SPENT by government.
Feminazis just don't seem to understand, or at least appreciate, that this
process takes so much out of an American workers' income that he has to
borrow ever more money just to pay it.
To call the monstrous debt this cycle created "private property" is a real
play on words, to say the least. [read: it's a LIE].
