great explanation of how its very different. not.

they have higher tax rates and a (gasp!) socialist government. sure there arent many mega rich people there but there are a whole lot of people with a house, food, job, and if they so wish, cars. they have health care and access to good education. if they so wish they can go to university which is mostly free to everyone.

but yet in the richest country in the world people are living on the streets in increasing numbers as our national education gets worse and worse. not to mention our decaying infrastructure. our airports are a joke compared to most international airports in the rest of the world.

this is largely due to belief in the "american dream" which is a falsehood and hasn't existed for half a century.

can't wait to move out of the states again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] forgot how awful this country is
