Blame Canada!

Typical FI reaction. The fact is, they earn more money. Why, because their whole culture supports labor and unions, that's why. Why do Americans earn less? Because America is full of dolts who think that millionaires are the top life form, and when they hear about Canadians who earn more, they attack Canada.

I know what you mean, Europe and Canada (somewhat) have a different perspective. I always laugh when people attack the "Old Europe" ie France, England, Germany....

Witness what the "threat" of a BA Cabin Crew strike did. They resolved that rather quickly.

Again, I like Canada. esp Montreal and Quebec City. Just wicked cold.

And I thought the US government was ripping me off with taxes. DAMN!

Part of the reason is Canada is more of a socialist country where workers rights, pay, pensions, etc get more respect. In the good ol' USA there has been this unquestionable faith in the free market since the fall of the Soviet Union and un unfettered belief that unchecked capitalism will acheive nirvana for all. Yeah...it's getting out of hand. Only now are people starting to realize that while the overall GDP is up, it doesn't help when 98% of that growth goes to the owners and CEOs and your white collar financial analyst job that paid $80,000 can easily be done in India for $15,000. It's a good thing Bush will be forced to leave in two years. If he weren't we'd be well on our way to bringing back sweatshops and child labor while those who complained would be crucified as socialist. And I voted for Bush...twice. Dumbest thing I ever did.

Us fellow republicans would like to thank you for you previous support and look forward to you keeping the next generation of Clintons out of the White House. They're the reason we're in this mess.

The law and the administrations in Europe favor unions.
