Socialism is a failure. Most European socialist countries have
absurdly high taxes that is crippling. Along with absurd income
taxes they also pay incredible sales taxes (15%) and $7+ gas most of which is tax. In the UK
they are having to reduce funding of free
collage in order to pay for a cash strapped healthcare system.

If the European countries are crippling under their tax burdens, any suggestions why why the Euro
has gained 40+% in value vs. the US dollar over the past 6 years?

Essentially because the US has been stupid enough to
**** an immense amount of money against the wall in Iraq.

The same effect was seen during the Vietnam War.
