There’s no fairytale in America
Americans aren’t complaining? The only ones who are not complaining are either too depressed to complain — or too rich.
Also, many of us would welcome a tax raise on the corporations which don’t pay any taxes and on the super rich who don’t pay anything near their share. And, as for excessive government spending? The only excesses were the global wars and the shameless bailouts-without-conditions. In both categories, Europe seems equally guilty.
