Americans - Most Productive Workers in teh World

Yes, this debate is just never ending... I know how both systems work, but I like Euro system much more. Most average folk are much better in Euro system. I'm not talking about super rich. Also, as a place for children, having a family and overall quality of life Europe is better. This is...

That's right... median salary in developed EU countries is higher than in US. If you add social benefits to that, you can easily see that Europeans live quite nicely. Better yet, i'd rather live on welfare in western Europe than in US with low salary. And to the previous poster ->... I'm an...

Compare it with US system... this is universal coverage system, and noone has to sell their kindey to get medical attention. "But the french system is much more generous to its entire population than the U.S. is to its seniors. Unlike with Medicare, there are no deductibles, just modest co-...

YOu're right in a way... But look at it this way- When parents work too much, children wander around streets and get into trouble. Or they eat and watch stupid TV shows(just look how fat US kids are!). Since parents are literally forced to work as much as companies want them to- children...

It does, but comments are stupid. It is said that Norway GDP is inflated by oil production. OK, US GDP is inflated by medical care-business in US, human right in Norway. US GDP is inflated by military... US GDP is inflated by many other things... See where this is going?

And you forgot France has one of best health systems... no matter how sick you get, you won't get poor or left dying because you don't have enough cash for medical services. If you get sick, you won't end up on street... you HAVE sick days. As long as you are really sick, you will be cared...

Well, there are many things to consider here... As has already been mentioned, distribution in Europe is more even. In US, you can wonder- who produces for who? "Average CEO Salary Equals 364 Workers" You produce for your CEOs... they get 100s of millions in paychecks, leftovers are your...

Strange Vista problem- help

Thx, i might try that... but like i said, the problem is that it still doesn't list a module name, so i am kind of left in the dark. I'll see what happens. Does anyone else seem to have this problem, or had this problem? I would hate to think i'm the only one.

work/life balance and security in Europe and US

You could just look at median salary then (NOT average,median- salary of 1/2ppl is lower,of 1/2 higher). In that case, some Euro countries also fare quite a bit better...

Talking about western countries in Europe, and northern countries. Living standard is higher there. As for the rest of countries, even poor European countries have better social systems than US.

Who says that the minimum wage in Europe's developed countries, which is a lot higher, does not go just to same population you mentioned?

Adjust it all you want, minimum wage in Europe-developed countries is in purchasing power much higher than US. Also, per capita, however you adjust it, usa is not the leader... You can find all of that data by yourself...

If UNIVERSAL health care is THAT bad, why are your own ppl more and more for it? Medical care is not like other commodities on the market, i don't think same laws should apply to it...
