American pyramid scheme does rhyme with American dream; this seems like a way to keep newcomers working to feed the incumbents.
This worked fine when Europe was heavily in debt post world war and China was a backwater, but Europe is now ticking along fine, China is doing well, and we are all looking abit wryly at America's lack of social safety nets.
Grrr... Hands off our entrepreneurs. Grow your own.
- hvs 15y agoIt's funny that you would mention "social safety nets" when it is most likely the economies of those areas that push the entrepreneurs to the U.S. I'm not saying the U.S. doesn't have its own issues (boy, does it), but I don't see why entrepreneurs shouldn't come here if it is in their best interest. If Europe and China want to keep their entrepreneurs, they should start making themselves more attractive to entrepreneurs.
- hessenwolf 15y agoI think the push is declining.
- StudyAnimal 15y agoPersonally I am keen to get the hell out of Germany with its 50% tax PLUS 13% compulsory health insurance. Social safety net is one thing, but it is ridiculous here, even rich families get government money for having kids. Foreigners get unemployment benefit. Utter insanity and no one wants it to change. America, please let me in! And don't get me started on trying to start a business. Europe is purging its entrepreneurs like some sort of viral infection.
