Dunno why everybody is using this thread to compare the EU to the US, as if I cared about how it is in the US.

I'm telling you I pay over half my salary in taxes and get little in return. Whatever happens in the US is not my problem.

Because the comment that you replied to was comparing the EU to the US: "And everyone benefits from this kind of collective solidarity - our societies are far less combative (both in the literal and the proverbial sense) than the US are."
