Ugh....I agree with the author on a couple of points but the rest is utter bullshite.
I don't have he time or inclination to go through the whole thing. I'll just leave this here.

Hmm..those people in that long line sure seem concerned about having a job. What? Are you telling me that in the paradise that is everywhere except the U.S., Spain can't just mandate that all of their citizens are employed and have income?

There are a few nuggets of truth in there... But overall, the "article" is laughable. Look, I get it... You hate the U.S. You think Japan and all the countries mentioned in the blog (which is just some idiot's opinion) are better.
But 70% of tax dollars go to the military? Hmm... Well that's a lot of crap... More like 22%, which is still too much IMHO.
LINK
Also, I'm pretty sure the U.S. has a per capita GDP higher than every country he mentions by name in the article, except for Australia. Then, you have to consider that those countries have a higher cost of living. There is an even bigger gap between the U.S. and those countries when it comes to per capita GDP (PPP). The link, and the original post, are complete failures... Way too much misinformation and ignorance in there to be taken seriously.
I've been to Europe, Asia, South America and most of the countries in North America. I still haven't found a place that I'd rather live than the U.S. Now, I could definitely be very happy in Canada, Germany, Switzerland... But I prefer home.
I really hope to make it to OZ/NZ next year... Maybe I'll fall in love with Australia and want to immigrate. I have a sister-in-law there that wants to get back to California ASAP. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Europe will be under Sharia law in under 20 years. No thanks.
