I live in the EU and this article is about the EU. The article shows how European ideals on running a society have prevailed with new eastern Europeans eager to become part of Europe and the new president of the USA also eager to adopt European ideals. We see all new democracies adopting a universal health care and higher tax on the rich than the poor, basically sharing wealth. This sharing of wealth has been argued by the old right wing that countries like

200 years to fail, not sure hat you mean. The original conservative freemarket ideals you had were what Britain had before the introduction of the welfare state, so you have had British ideals up to now. The main difference is that the UK turned to a welfare state after WWII, the rest of europe followed but the USA did not. People on the right [like the bloggers trolling my posts] claim that it is ok to leave the poor to rot as yanks get higher incomes by not havin

With Barack Obama about to win the presidency of the USA and most of eastern Europe wanting to join the EU we are seeing the European ideals winning through. Obama is essence is wanting to make america European just as Serbias leaders are desperate to make their once right wing country more European. The EU has made more democracies than any other major organisation on earth, and credit to them for that. The american rights ideals have faile

The British and US governments use the same average wage index as I have shown and told you. Making arguements that have already been refuted won't wash with me, sorry.

LOL. Clearly the stats posted caused an uproar amongst anti English right wing trolls. Well I will not apologise for that. Until someone can post a link to refute my points, then they stand. Average wage index is what both the UK and the USA use, so it is the only sensible and fair way to define stats. We will stick with average wage index as GDP PPP is NEVER used by any government. 0 long term homeless in the UK is because the UK does indeed h

WWII. North america did help the UK as did the soviet union but only when they were attacked. The UK had to buy equipment from north america to help the europeans and soviets fight hitler, the americans gave nothing. If the UK had sided hitler or lost the Battle of Britain then the americans would have gone under or done a deal with hitler. Either way the brave stand of the British is the main reason the world has freedom today. Freedoms. <

I am interested if you have a stat for disposable income's. The big argument over here, in the states, is usually, what seems like a gross exageration, the just about all of your incomes go taxes. Also how much of a refund do you usually get. Excuse if I have confused the UK economy with another more "socialist" economy in Europe. Taxation can be found on wikipedia under taxation, I struggle to post links for some reason on this website. They are similar in th

Britains national debt is 43%. USA is 61%. I knew you would come up with some sort of anti English stats. The national debt of the UK is small, the recommendation in the EU is not to exceed 60%, the UK is well within that. The government webpage showed that the USA average wage was indeed $38,000 and the UK's $42,000, with the UK working less hours per week. The big mac nonsense was childish and was not the average wage, just GDP P

Companies pay British workers more money per hour and give them 4.8 weeks payed leave than US workers. Americans work more hours than UK workers, get paid less per hour and get less paid leave. The government of the Uk add VAT onto goods so we pay more. This means the UK has 0 long term homeless, wealthy well housed poor, cared for diabled people and many more people in higher education.

Very accurate post. Churchill was trying to get everyone to fight hitler but few were interested in doing so. The Polish and Greeks fought bravely as did others. The north americans sadly sat back and tried to make money while 6 million jews were slaughtered and the British were being bombed, they would have happily done a deal with hitlker had he won. Britain fought and paid for WWII and for that the world owes the UK. The other countries who joined in di
