It's interesting that most of the countries with the higher levels of paid vacation and holidays have some of the absolute worst economies. Portugal? Spain? Italy? France? Greece?

Yeah, how's the guaranteed vacations and holidays working out for them?

You're comparing one extreme to another in order to say that your preferred extreme is better? Based on the logic that you're trying to put forth paid vacation should be made illegal. Then the economy would increase 10-fold, right?

I don't know how someone can even attempt that tone without having a clue on what one is on about.

"The 28 days statutory (UK) leave compared with 25 in Greece, France, Austria, Sweden, Luxembourg, Finland and Denmark, 24 in Malta, 22 in Spain and Portugal, 21 in Norway and 20 in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Cyprus, Ireland, Switzerland and Holland."
