No one in Europe complains about taxes because you folk don't really have a way to fix the problem. Our constitution allows us to. And, you've been indoctrinated for 50 years of socialism.... the definition of "fair" has been redefined for you; rather than "equal", it means "take from the successfully to pay for stuff others who are less successful want or need, as defined by some wise government committee".
i dunno if i have to laugh or to cry. its quite evident that you have a very twisted view of Europe. As Tatty said
Lol, 50 years of socialism? I think you will probably find that in the last 50 years, in the leading EU member states that predominantly governments have been centre to the right, not to the left.
it isnt the definition of fair thats the problem here, but maybe the one of selfishness. What you seem to want is a bigger and bigger social gap that will destroy your society. we are already seeing this moral decay.
Once upon a time.... i heard of a country that was respected for its ideals of freedom, for the possibilities that it offered to its inhabitants. I heard that everyone there could have a second possibility and that money seemed to be growing on trees. Now i cant believe to that fairy tale. i see a country that needs the biggest army in the world to have some type of respect (better called fear, awe). I can only see a country where the soldiers torture their prisoners, and where hatred grows and grows, where the murders per year are more that in all Europeans coutries together. I see a mutilated and reactionary economy, where people has to secure loans to live.
The problem is that you are selfish. you dont look at the prosperity of your nation but only at your gains. And this will backfire on you. In fact it is backfiring on you.
"The Poors? Those who arent able to gain money cause they are lazy and stupid" NO, thanks.
And the concept of success is distorted too. In this money-based society who is rich is successful. I think that successful is someone that is happy with what he does in its life. The goal of life isnt making money, its being happy. thats rarely the same thing.
