There's something about those cabbage eaters.

I'm guessing they have a broader and deeper practical intelligence and honesty.

After reading some of the post on CD, I'd say your guess is correct.

The big difference I see is they want to be ONE prosperous country and might have to sacrifice some things for the greater good sometimes. We would look at it as communism or soicialism. They look out for each other. We are all individuals in the US. We dont care if our neighbor has nothing.

If anyone wants to donate to the "Help Rita Move out of America" fund, it'd be appreciated.

Maybe we can tap into some of that German intelligence and honesty and use their Army to protect our Mexican border.

I thought people in "socialists" countries are lazy because socialism makes people not want to work. Weird. How come Germany has survived the crisis better than most other countries?

Well Germany chose to be a capital exporting country while the USA has chose to be a capital importing country. Each country chooses their own path of development. There is no right way or wrong way. Personally I prefer the USA to be a capital importing country because it makes us less susceptible to trade shocks.
