[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one of them.

Being an immigrant is tough. I’m desperate to leave but nicer places don’t want Americans and getting a visa let alone citizenship is an uphill battle.

I don't understand why Americans want to move to, particularly Europe so badly given they pay higher taxes for public services and earn a whole lot less overall. All the high-skilled people limited by their market in Europe move to the United States to earn more than they do in the old continent.[/quote]

[b]I’d much rather pay higher taxes and have free or low cost college. [/b]Tuition at Oxford is less that 10,000 pounds. Tuition at private university in America is $60,000. We are fooling ourselves thinking lower taxes is better. I’m saving every nickel and dime for my child’s future college tuition.[/quote]

The math doesn’t add up though. It’s not just higher taxes but significantly lower taxes.  You’re talking a 50% reduction in income over your entire career to pay for say, 200k in college benefits, if that. This is ignoring that many Americans live in state with inexpensive college tuition (Florida, TX and California)

Reminds me of conversations with women in the UK bragging about their six months of paid leave. Ok sure, but I earn an extra 100k per year… you require paid leave from the government because wages are so low! [/quote]
