Maybe this explains why the US is out ahead in GDP, income, and is doing much better pre and post covid than Europe.

It's not so much breaking laws, but unnecessary restrictions and harassment by Europeans states.

The US is business friendly. It's industry friendly. We don't needlessly harass the business of sovereign individuals, and the state apparatus isn't being used as an excuse as to exert power or influence over the population. Not to the same paternalistic extent of Europe.

In Europe the liberal state apparatus that replaced the monarchies are acting an awful lot like the monarchies.

You call a tax fraud investigation "needlessly harassing the business of sovereign individuals?"

You're right, the U.S. is very business and industry friendly, which explains why the American people have been getting poorer and poorer while corporations and their shareholders get richer and richer.

The Average American is getting richer and richer, especially compared to European wage stagnation. I don’t think non-Americans understand how rich middle class americans are.

Only 50% of Americans have Passports. 80% in Europe.

We understand it, because we travel there on, our paid, vacations.

My last time in America I went to San Francisco, lots of money, I have not seen a worst place to live in my life.

Americans don't understand the quality of life other places have.

Americans have been getting richer and richer according to most recent studies. At the same time, other socialist countries are getting, on average, poorer. I think you may be confusing social inequality with overall wealth.

As an American surrounded by Superfund sites I would like some of these unnecessary restrictions and harassment by the state. The US is so beholden to private interests we can't even repair the roads or mandate healthcare without making it into a market.
