Unicorns fart out rainbows that have gold pots at both ends for everyone to take As they please. Just like Hitler envisioned.

yea but what do they actually pay? and certainly the wages are much higher there.

for example america's corporate tax rate used to be i think around 30% but the effective rate was around 12%.

haha your one to talk!

hows the bad karma treating you?

 

[Brownslave688]

you guys just blow all your taxes on war. you dont have basic social services like high speed trains, healthcare, college, vacation, etc. tuition is a tax!

And that's why we sent the Germans packing with their tails between their legs.




TWICE!!!

Oy vey.

HSR doesn’t work here because the population is so spread out. There is a reason it only works between Boston and DC. The density isn’t there.

Healthcare, my wife pays 37 bucks a month to cover both of us with a $500 dollar deductible, best healthcare system in the world.

College, I paid my way through, and it gave me a work ethic. Meanwhile all the folks I know that had it handed to them are working the crap jobs they had in high school.

Vacation is just a stupid remark because the government doesn’t fund it.

i worked on the railway as a conductor so i know where your coming from. its a nightmare doing on call road trips.

i recommend going to school for healthcare or a trade. dont do UPS.

Feel bad for the poor bastard that had to sit and listen to you all day or night

it is in this case.

in real life you have to be reasonable. but on here i can chirp you all i want.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

yea i know but that guy was dissing germany and its obviously better than north america bc of its social policies.

they even have affordable housing in some big cities there. they have unions on corporate boards by law.

It’s not “obvious” to anyone. If that’s what they want then that is what they get. We don’t want that here, so we don’t have it.

My mom was born in Germany and I still have family there. It isn’t sunshine and daisies

dude, most countries have LAWS for vacation saying you have to get 4 weeks at least.

college: highest student debt in the world is in USA. canada is bad too.

healthcare: mediocre results and the most expensive in the world. 1 million ppl with insurance go bankrupt every year i think.

for example america's corporate tax rate used to be i think around 30% but the effective rate was around 12%.

And then the income gets taxed again in capital gains...

no no, in america it doesnt matter what you want. maybe german democracy is likely stronger. the EU sucks tho.

Places where people pretend to work and they pretend they get paid?
