I live in Denmark, and frankly speaking I think most Europeans view the US as a kind of developing country. It can be nice if you're well off, but so can Rio or Capetown. Thinking about it Capetown is much nicer than most US cities.

People like to complain about taxes here, a lot, but where would we get the standard of living without it? Seems there is a disconnect. In the US, where, by the way, you pay quite a lot of tax still, you can end up living in a box or get worse health treatment even then. We do not get things for free: we pay taxes for it. It can be lower because we could cut corruption and inefficiency but it would still be a lot and people will still cry in forums.
