You said NO Europeans go to Community College.. And now to prove yourself wrong, you are changing the argument again. I'm not even going to ask what makes you think they are "vastly superior" because I'm afraid of what garbage you might post.
No one was discussing percentages, but must be that superior education of yours to not know the difference
That one missing cent is the one percent That is why it is called cent, it means hundred.

I'm not changing the argument. You keep insisting Community College over here is comparable to Community College in Europe. Just another big fail of yours. Countries like Germany and Switzerland just academically have higher standards than America.
Why is social upward mobility higher in Europe than in America?
Your link is quite long on opinions but short on facts.
It is quite easy for anybody in America to climb the social ladder. Millions do it every year. So you should be asking why people don't take advantage of the opportunities they have. They are there.
Why does our GDP grow usually at a much faster pace?
They don't. If you calculate what they get back through taxes, they earn way more than the american middle class. America grew faster (not anymore), because America loves the rich and doesn't give a rip about the little guy. Its all about Me, Me, Me. That's why our society is failing. Europeans think we are dumb, uncultured and primitive for a reason.

The question is, is it easy enough? When a greater share of the population climb it in other western countries, America has lost something America was always tops at.

There is some truth to this, although it obviosly varies a lot by country. When you adjust for hours worked, european incomes get a lot closer to the Americans. Then there is health care, no need to save for the kids educations, etc...

Please its because we have the most billionaires in this country. The European middle class is vastly prosperous compared to the american middle class. And again the OECD study shows that there are over a half dozen European countries that have higher opportunities than america. But keep closing your eyes. But this country will keep going down the drain. We have over 20% real unemployment for Christ sakes.
Keep lying. I ain't dumb enough to fall for it. Once again, only Norway, a homogenous country compared to the US, has a higher PPP and the median income of Americans is higher than practically every nation in Europe also. Just try telling the truth for once. Lying to justify immoral legalized theft..tsk, tsk.
I've read through several pages of this thread and all I have to say is that this is pathetic.
To the OP:
You seem to post a great number of threads about the United States. It seems that perhaps you have some type of strange paranoia or obsession with it.
The European Union has FAR MORE than its fair share of problems to deal with currently. Perhaps you should focus your efforts on dealing with yourselves first, and then you can worry about others. You seem to have ample time on your hands, so get to it.
Please take your trolling antics elsewhere.
