Whattttttttttttttttttttt?
Obviously you have never lived in Europe.
So you think everyone in America have Bigger houses than in Europe..... wrong!
You think that Europe doesn't have big cars.... they do but they also are way ahead of America in economical cars that aren't gas guzzlers.
Gas is more expensive in some of Europe but food, clothes, rent, mortgages etc are no more expensive than here now. Many of my family come over to America and say..."I thought things were cheaper here" ..
Well for quite a few years now America is no cheaper than the UK, in Fact some things are far more expensive here.
Do you think bigger cars and houses make life better here......

I don't think that Europeans are smarter than Americans but Americans are far more naive and open to brain washing and control than Europeans

Affordable healthcare, better public transit, cheaper University, more paid holidays, better urban activities.

Also having a bigger car and a wider road has nothing to do with life quality. I prefer small walkable roads in nice pedestrian friendly environment.

That being said European quality of life is much better and more enjoyable.

Work to live, not live to work.

He isn't fooling anyone. Central Europeans have the best quality of life in the world. Fact, if you disagree you are sadly mistaken or brainwashed by American media.

Both America and Europe have things that are good.
Unfortunately in America today Citizens are now being "ripped off" every day by the elitist insurance companies, banks and big corporations.
The American dream for the majority of Americans has now become the American nightmare!
