3. Is America successful in business globally in spite of its dumbed down population?
4. Do you think there are any things that are better in the US than in Germany?
5. Do you think that the US would be better if they doubled the taxes so that it would be more in line with Germany's?
These are not fecitious questions, I would be really interested to get your perspective. |
1. Yes. (The average american.)
2. I don't know the answer to that one. Don't have a reference point as I did not go to college in Germany.
3. Was successful. Dollar is plunging. Maybe a better word then dumbed down is "manipulated"? (Not to say other countries citizens aren't manipulated also.)
4. LOL....I'll have to think hard on that one. Ok. Got one. Germany has a more "old school" outlook, america has a "younger" youthful outlook.
5. LOL...Definitley
not. U.S. Arms Industry (Defense Contractors) would just have more money to waste.
