The whole EU is nothing but a Potemkin village. Commmunists and libtards tout it everyday as a standard to follow. Yet to call it a homogenous middle class is a joke. In reality homogenous lower class is the end result. Just like in Russia and china and only a minor percentage will live a higher standard that STILL... STILLL will never match the prosperity that even America's middle class has.
This is just the beginning of course. Soon we shall see famine, political strife, genoicde and despotism. The EU is on its way to becoming the new USSR and end up the same way as it was.

I am not saying it was perfect, but their socialism is far better than the socialism we got in this country, and, yes, many of the liberal run cities in the US are socialist and have tax rates comparable to Europe, but without anybody benefiting except the overpaid liberal bureaucrats making 6 figures and the illegals on the dole, who are better off on welfare in this country than being a peon in theirs.
An almost ten year old, factually out of date article about a country with a total population somewhere between that of Berlin and Paris. So that is pars pro toto for the whole of Europe?
Look! Some Dane put up a website just for you (don't forget to turn the sound on)! ;-)
If people can’t compete for money, they will compete for something else to get prestige. Writers, musicians, and artists....
“Courtesans”?
Doesn’t anybody pick up a dictionary any more?
That would be courtiers, she was more or less her own courtesan.
And the title was Tsarina or Empress, not Queen.
