NO,what it means is Americans are CHEAP.Don't read more into it then it says huh sweetheart !!!
Don't call me sweetheart. I stand by my interpretation.
While the socialist faction in Great Britain measures value & worth with a childs toy; America believes noble acts are an obligation owed to our fellow man, and to God.
It is an honor, and we are proud to be measured by a more substantial ruler than that crowed over in this article.
I don't agree with Hildy very often, but she is right. He isn't getting snide by commenting that Americans are cheap, he is criticizing the pricing structure of the U.K.
How else can you call for him saying feel sorry for the Irish and Swedes? Their VAT is even higher than the UK. If he thought the UK was "better" than the US, why wouldn't he have praised Ireland and Sweden for being even "better" than the UK?
The fact is that US customers won't pay the same prices that those in the UK will pay. Kind of like how men won't pay the same price for clothes that women will.
