I am not negative about Americas, just supported their economy bought Rye whiskey and bourbon. But seriously I have issues whit one of them, otherwuse no,

to be honest I never understood the negativity of Europeans towards US. If nothing else, the American system has been extremely good for you considering that it has subsidized your lifestyle after the WWII.

the percentage of wealth held by the richest 1% is about the same in US and the Netherlands , and is slightly less than that of Germany.

yeah strawmaning is indeed a very mature approach to political discussions. the top 1% in US aid 45% of taxes. Do you want to reduce their tax burden when you mention "income-based taxation"?

Sounds like whoever came up with that idea is a complete nut job
