Ever look at the productivity rates in Europe?  Or the unemployment?  I like

PS.  Why don't Europeans like us?  I've heard this before, but never

From what I understand, we don't spend enough money on our poor people.  I
have found that the more socialist a country is, the less they like
Americans.  And when asked why, it often comes down to our wealth
redistribution policies and our Black/race problems.  The anti-American
sentiment is directly proportional to the overall tax rate in the given
country, I think.
