Some sensible posts here. I think this American propaganda will only take off, if at all, with those dumb Brits who buy this crap. The picture certainly looks like a group of British political morons taking a cream tea.

I think what Patrick Henry and mrfreeze say is very true, but then think of the case of Finland. Last I heard, they were enthusiastically embracing neoliberalism because they didn’t want to pay for “those” people. I truly hope that Europeans are not stupid enough to destroy their social benefits; they must have sent most of their stupid people to the U.S.

The Europeans have a civilized system compared to ours.

To ask them to give it up in order to save a few bucks will go over like a fart in church.

I happen to be in Europe right now and every time I have a discussion with my Italian
relatives about taxes, social programs, universal healthcare and the simple notion that
PEOPLE matter I realize just how ridiculous The American worldview has become. Not
every problem can be addressed by reducing it to a simple for-profit formula. The
mistake that Americans make about Life is that pretending to be a wealthy tycoon (as
so many Americans consider themselves) is nothing more than a fantasy, a distorted
fetish with wealth.

The tea baggers will find that Europeans understand what a middle-class is and they
will take to the streets before giving up their social systems.
