the English
A Case in Point
Submitted by Phelonius on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 01:16.Update: I found this little tid-bit and thought that it may prove interesting. Apparently the are people in the UK that are getting tired of excessive regulation as well.
As the US moves towards higher taxes, socialized medicine, and more government growth, there has been a lot of rhetorical blood spilled over how much better life has been in the socialized countries in Europe. Critics of free-market solutions to questions about everything from health care to badly designed bridges maintain that the only solution is for Uncle Sugar to step in and take over. They point out that life expectancy is greater in Western Europe and that a Nanny State is generally safer than life here in the good old US of A. But what is the overall cost? A recent article in the Daily Mail points out that in Britain, perhaps “the” Nanny State of all Nanny States, at least 1/3 of all British inhabitants are dreaming of moving out of that country.
But, you intelligent readers may ask, why would anyone want to leave a society that is so perfectly controlled by their government?
