Were he a better politician, Mr Romney would have seized on a report earlier this month that showed a sharp fall in US competitiveness. In 2007, the US was ranked first by the World Economic Forum, which published the report. By 2011 it had fallen to fifth. This year it dropped to seventh. The chief culprits are bad governance, macroeconomic instability and declining infrastructure. Here, too, the American trend points the wrong way.
假如罗姆尼是一名更加出色的政客,他本应抓住本月早些时候发布的一份显示美国竞争力显著下降的报告大做文章。2007年,美国被发布该报告的世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)评为全球最具竞争力的国家。到了2011年,美国的排名已降至第五位。今年更进一步下滑至第七位。主要的症结在于政府治理不力、宏观经济形势不稳定以及基础设施日渐老化。在这一点上,美国的发展趋势同样指向错误的方向。
Should he still pull off a victory, Mr Romney’s tax plans would skew the fiscal system even further towards the wealthiest. If, as Mr Romney says, Mr Obama is a “redistributionist, then he is clearly not a very effective one.
假如罗姆尼仍能赢得本届大选,他的税收方案将使整个财政体系进一步向最富裕阶层倾斜。如果奥巴马像罗姆尼所说的那样是一位“收入再分配主义者,那么他显然就不是一个非常重视效率的人。
