59. "We should emulate Europe, they seem to be happier than" Are you
Edited on Mon Jan-31-11 09:58 PM by ProSense
suggesting that the U.S. emulate Europe by raising our effective corporate taxe rate, implementing government-run health care and instituting other excellent benefits and retirement systems? How about mandated vacations and cutting the number of hours worked?

Also, their consumption tax isn't in lieu of an income tax, and many of their total income tax rates are higher than the top U.S. rate
