And that was probably before they got around to paying their taxes, too.


Brits dont pay taxes in the UK on money earned abroad, thats why so many want to move out, well that and its not their country anymore.

I've gotten into some "Brits react" youtube channels lately... I can't imagine how dull and drab their lives are. Makes me feel very blessed to be an American.


I've been watching quite a few myself.

What I have determined after watching all these Europeans going apeshit crazy over Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, Walmarts and the US national Parks is I need to get out a little more and enjoy a lot of the things we Amercans take for granted.

I'm in Texas. I like it here. I don't like Mississippi.

What on earth would lead you to believe I'm a communist?

I’m enjoying watching our euro visitors realize how shitty their country has become.

My point being that US taxes are probably a pittance compared to UK taxes.

There are so many here visiting doing random food tastings and saying our food is brilliant.

The UKs economy is bad, what ours would be with Kamala.

What does that have to do with communism?

Would you rather live in Aberdeen or the lower ninth ward?

I saw a video of someone walking around the UK and it's shocking how they destroyed it is . It's like one big downtown LA now. The guy filming was scared to death to be filming because he knows that if they see him walking around with a camera filming, he might get his throat slit


Outside the city-state of London, the UK is pretty depressing. The average Joe in the U.S. is so much better off.

If you prefer them to even the worst of us, you're a dirty commie. I didn’t make the rules.

I’m not surprised by this. Any Muslim nation would be shocked at the prosperity and freedom of America.

Money and what they give to the world is financial aid for legitimate purposes as well as nefarious activities.
