You can get healthcare, vacation, and sick leave working at McDonalds. I don't get your argument about our cars breaking down. Do you live in a cave? We can buy the same cars here that they make overseas. BMW, VW, etc.....DUH. Ford and Chevy vehicles are sold all over the world.

Europe's socialist leaning society has resulted in higher unemployment than American and makes it harder for them to crawl out of recessions. If you watch the news you would see that the eruo zone is on the brink of another financial collapse and recession, while America's economy is growing.

The protestors are such hippicrits also. People like Michael Moore that protest on their sides are the 1%. Barack Obama is the 1%! Most of the protestors are young scragley looking kids just looking for trouble. Most of them can't answer basic questions about what a corporation is, the financial crisis, etc. No wonder they don't have jobs!
I love how you blame the lack of unemployment on the merits of young people. You reps seem to forget the recission that forced millions out of a job that lead to middle aged people to taking lower waged jobs also the economy of the eu is the largest in the world and Europe has one of the highest standards of living in the world idk what fox news propaganda you read thy says other wise.

This topic is obviously over your head. You didn't even know that foreign cars are sold here. All of your posts lack proper spelling and grammar. "Lack of unemployment", I think you meant to say employment. I do not put all of the blame on the young people, but they do have a significant amount of personal responsibility for their unemployment. They should be looking for jobs instead of camping outside. There is a reason why they don't have jobs and other young professionals do, and judging from their statements and appearances it is obvious.

The EU collectively is the largest in the world, but that's irrelevant because that's like comparing continents. Then the US should just throw in Canada and Mexico. An economies size is based on GDP, which doesn't say anything about a standard of living. China has the second largest economy. The US has the highest standard of living.

You are also getting off topic. The whole point is what is a better system? You are saying that socialism is better than capitalism, which has already been proven wrong and is stupid to even discuss. You were also pretty much saying that people don't have a right to be rich.

Once again i believe in a college education. I dont think everyone needs to get a degree.

So you sir are the one who is wrong.

There are 3 types of jobs

Ones where you need a degree to qualify for.
Ones where you work you way up the ladder
Ones you create.

Which one do you think is the hardest to do?
Which one do you think has the most competion?
Which one pays the most?
Which one contributes to the society the most?

Answer those for me please.

What do you not understand? employers are not giving jobs out to our generation unless we have a college education.

Let me explain what you are missing. College education and college degree does not mean the same thing. Yes a college education is needed. But lots of your generation believe in the get the degree will get me a job. You need more than a degree. Example

By the way i am 40 and have a assoc in biz. Plus 1 yr on top of that in biz classes.

I was passed up for full time job at a movie theatre i was working for because i didnt have the 4 yr degree. They hired people who had art degrees and the such. They hated their jobs and they didnt pay worth the degree.

What did i do?

I went to a compediter and was hired and made more there. Got the interview due to my experience and got the name of the district manager from a manager i knew from first job when i was a employee. I was filling out the app while i was being interviewed. By the way it was salary with benns. I was 21 at time and in college.

You know of only 1 type of job. The one you need a degree for. Let me inform you.. Theres more than corp vs fast food jobs. You are in the corporate job line. You know the type of job your dems cant stand but think are the only jobs out there.

I would like to help you.

Tell me what do you like doing?

Next what are you going to school for?

Are they the same thing?

If not you will not be happy..
