That is why your EU economy is stagnant because you do not spend money continuously.

You make less money than us, you are taxed more, and everything is more expensive. You are doomed for failure.

Dude...I'm an American working for Uncle Sammy overseas...it's not MY EU....I'm pissed that I have to rely on the local economy so much instead of the AF Base...but that's another story...but what i do know....I haven't yet met an Italian that likes the Euro...they all want to go back to the Lira.....not many Italians are happy about the whole EU concept...
