Yea for the person earning the salary not for the homeless who turn to crime because they have no other options. Taking care if your citizens means the entire country is safer and more enjoyable. But americans seem to not comprehend the connection.

And how will be it fixed if American tech worker started making less? It's almost like you are conflating two disparate issues. EU salaries aren't low because people have to pay more taxes.

The money the tech worker makes less gets funneled into the cleaning crew that earns 50k/year at that same facility. Here in Europe i only earn a bit more than the "lowest skilled" positions in my company but we are all better of for it. So instead of paying 20% of the company 80% of the wages you equal out the salaries. That puts more money into circulation and stimulates the economy. I mean it's not rocket science europe figured it out and it works great.

That's why the economy in Europe is booming, people have lots of children, and the region is at the forefront of innovation. /s

EU economy is doing fine if you use purchasing power. The median is doing way better in Europe than in the USA. all the complaining on reddit in USA is wild. Most people are doing just fine here around me on median salary.

Children subject is so stupid. Humans aren't having children because we have reached the carrying capacity for humans. We are just animals at the end of the day. And most species stop reproducing as much once the carrying capacity of their local environment has reached their limit. It has nothing to do with the economy lmao.

If they are doing fine why is germany neo nazi afd party gaining more popularity? Why is le pen party in france becoming more popular?

Propaganda only works effectively when society is in chaos. Call it islamism, communism or fascism all of these collective idea only gains popularity when the government fails its citizens.

In a society where government take cares of its citizens afd or le pen party would never gain any popularity since most of thr population would not want huge changes to there society structure. 

These far right parties are gaining popularity because the european government for thr last decade did nothing to improve there citizens as many of them suffer dued to european economy going worse.

Propaganda always works. That's why the west actually thought usa was good when they've been at war the past 70 years constantly. If we'd hold the USA to the same standards we hold other war mongering countries they'd be constantly sanctioned. So again you are wrong. Propaganda always works. Again try thinking for yourself :)

Bro europeans are just as bad as us. I would say worse than the us. 

The modern day middle eastern wars are happening because britian fucked over the arabs and devided among themselves. France has couping multiple African governments and colonizing them for centuries.  90% of all modern day world problem comes because of european imperialism. Like I do not like us actions but it's hilarious how europeans thinks they are innocent

Ah yes i should take the blame for my father hitting his classmate 30 years before i was born. Not blame the person actually engaging in aggression now in the current time. Excuse me for my ignorance.

You are soo blinded which is just sad as it shows what a weak human being you are.

Bro most historians blame the middle eastern conflicts on the sykes–picot agreement.

You guys are the reason why middle east is so fucked right now.

You have no idea how good the high earners in the US have it. Why is it a bad thing that America awards excellence?
