As the son of an anchor immigrant, can confirm that PP is correct.  Dad came here because taxes are low and incomes are high. Also wanted to escape oppressive socialism.  It isn't funi living in a country where you have to constantly ration food supplies.

I work with many people from Europe.  I love how they constantly S all over the USA for not having universal health care, free college, free childcare, etc. etc. Yet they all continue to stay because they sure as shit love the fact that they're making 1.5-3x more in salary here than they would in Europe and so don't have to pay 50% income taxes.  They're hypocrites.

You do realize that not all immigrants come from socialist countries, right?  And you also realize that socialism can take many forms?  And that some of the most widely-accepted social insurance programs the US has -- e.g., Medicare, Social Security -- are a form of socialism?  [/quote]

Don't forget that employer-linked health insurance was invented by that notorious socialist Otto von Bismarck.[/quote]
