All of this is completely true. I have become increasingly disillusioned with America since living in a European country years ago. Admittedly, it was a wealthy European country, but for their taxes everyone received:

-health care
-18 months of parental leave between the two parents
-preschool from age 3
-low cost university
-6 weeks of paid vacation if you were employed
-a living wage
-robust public transportation

It was incredibly eye-opening and yet most Americans have been cowed by fear of something they don't understand and don't seem to want to.[/quote]

+1000.   I grew up in Germany and they had much of that as well and contrary to GOP claims it is not "too expensive" and won't bankrupt anyone or turn the rich into paupers.  We CAN and SHOULD do these things, and we DO NOT need to and SHOULD NOT reinvent the wheel on those, we should just study and learn from other countries to understand how they have been able to implement those, pick a best-of-breed solution and GET IT DONE.[/quote]
