Fair enough,but everybody in this country is by law entitled to 4 weeks annual holiday irrespective of what level of pay and skill they are on.
Obviously the higher skilled and paid have longer holidays
Sure we have our share of so called poor, but you also have them in the states.
There is a lot wrong with the UK but I think by and large we have our priorities in the right order.
Don’t take this the wrong way but the general consensus of yanks in this country is that you all seem to be obsessed with trying to impress others, be it plastic surgery, your teeth,flashy but not very good cars, etc etc
Despite all this you also by and large seem top spend a lot of time with either your therapist or your counsellors.
I won’t even go down the road re your crime and murder rates.
However I do accept that the average yank is far more well mannered than the average brit which is something of a contradiction in terms considering your murder rate.
Maybe between the two nations we could learn something from each other and come up with a better system.

Go ahead and think whatever you want about us--it doesn't bother us or stop us from succeeding. In fact, it's that kind of Euro-sniping that makes most of us just smile, stick our chins in the wind and work even harder. That's something uniquely American, and that's one of the things I love most about this country. America is the greatest nation on earth and in human history. We feed, protect, clothe, heal, and provide stupendous amounts of charity to world--Great Britain included. You should sit back and ask yourself why you and your friends are so negative about Americans. Could it be................envy?
