@michael - Uhm... buddy you're wrong. Americans have the highest GDP per capita out of the G8. They also have the highest GDP per capita of any country with a population > 10 million. So no. Before taxes our salaries are on average 5-10% lower than yours, and then after the government rips in and takes something ungodly like 40-45% of our salaries (income tax), we're not left with very much at all. That's called "socialism". And trust me, it bites.
