There is really not much to look forward to in Europe besides trying to police others.

  The continent already feels like it's trying to tax itself to death. I don't know how Europeans survive, and this was before the energy crisis. I do worry European wealth will start to evaporate and we'll see the kind of social strife that occurs when the pension funds run out and people who were promised dignity into old age find out they're not going to get it.

    I used to think this until I moved to the USA. Property taxes here are insane. Add state tax, NYC city tax, Social Security etc the marginal taxes are well over 60% of income. And you still have to pay for your own healthcare after that.

      They're not mutually exclusive, both can be true.
