I've been to the US for 3 weeks. The difference is quite large and it is impossible to compare the merits and vices of either completely unbiased.
I like to live in a country where the strong support the weak through taxes, and I'm part of it. I duly pay for the privilege, but then I still would rather not trade places with those who receive benefit.
Work still pays, and healthcare is kinda affordable and accessible to all.
Yes, gas prices are through the roof - but that is one of the reasons I'm on this forum
All the best
