Regulation is not helping Europe. It helps them perhaps on the surface, but if you look beyond the lines, regulation (along with taxes) is like an anchor to Europe's growth. (I live in Germany)

Regulation/taxes has 2 effects : as you said it restrains economic growth but it also maintains a minimum 'social' level.

  It doesn't maintain anything. It redistributes money from the wealthy to the poor, but a large amount of that money gets lost on other things. Then, when it does reach the poor, it doesn't actually help them motivate their life - they become dependent on government funding. Taxes put tremendous stress on the working class. Socialism oppresses the working class. The best way anyways to maintain a minimum social level is with persistent and healthy growth.

    I did not observe the effects you are describing, on the contrary. Where can I read more about those affirmations ?

      > The best way anyways to maintain a minimum social level is with persistent and healthy growth. This one is just logical. As society continues to grow and expand, then there's more available to lift the poor out of poverty. The other points I made arise primarily out of my experiences living in Germany and US in connection with my understandings. There might information somewhere, but I can't point to them now, sorry. But I do highly recommend the following book for other very interesting social/political ideas: Urantia. (The social/political ideas start later in the book, not right at the start.) Thank you.

If I look at the US the growth doesn't reach the majority of people so I prefer the European way.

  It does reach the majority. People in the US, even the poor people, are way more wealthy than Europeans.

    I highly doubt that, even poor people in Europe can afford good health care compared to the US.

      In my personal experience, health care in Europe is of considerable less quality than in the US.
