Better pay, more freedom, less government...

Manwhile, in the EU, less of the first two and more of the third.

uhm... the EU does have far too much government... but not nearly as
much as the US...

What an odd claim.

The US, at all levels (Federal plus local) employs about eight million
people in the government (add in the military, which would add another
couple of million). Ten million government employees, for a nation of
300 million or so. About one out of thirty people working for the
government, at one level or another.

For comparison, the UK employs about 5 million in their government, for
a population of 60 million. About one out of twelve. And they're not
as burdened as Sweden, which is even further down the "State hires
everyone" road.

In the EU (unlike the US) you don't have to make a written application
in three copies plus pay and administrative fee before getting
permission to go to your toilet, for instance.

Very funny. False, but funny.

At least that example isn't *that* far from the truth when it comes to
the situaiton in the US.

Except that it's false...
