Not just Britain, I observe that most Europeans have a much better life than Americans.
Unfortunately most of the traditional indices of "quality of life" don't even consider a lot of aspects that I consider important.
We could start with the food supply in America. It's mostly genetically poisoned frankenfood. If you want to actually eat healthy in America, you pay much more than in Europe.
They have better vacations, better urban spaces, better nightlife, better education, better eveything!
Plus, America is a giant bubble of debt swirling right down the toilet.
We just spent 1 trillion in Iraq. This kind of lunacy will not pave a better tomorrow.
In fact, I don't see the dollar ever being on par with the Euro again, much less the British pound. The US might be the Brazil of the 21st century. If you are in the minority of the wealthy here, life will be just peachy keen. For most everyone else, especially the dwindling middle class, life will be getting worse.
