Guess those tea-sipping, funny accented guys that we all love in CoD and MoH are making more money than us. And they have free healthcare. Better start packing.

Isn't everyone?Witchking111111

Just about anyone is richer than us, we just borrow money left and right.....

Oh, except Mexico.

But they don't have to pay for healthcare and stuff. That adds up to several hundred to a few thousand dollars a year. And considering that the gap is gonna increase in a few years.

Yeah.. Britain has a higher cost of living so it doens't really mean anything.

One great example is petrol (gas), over here its £1 a litre (~ $9 a gallon :o)

so?

Either way I still have the same amount of money

Remember that the Brits uses public transportation a lot more than the Americans. Subways, Busses, trains, etc, are much more intergrated in their daily lives. Second, they don't need to travel a lot either. In the US you need to go 100 miles (in the midwest atleast) to get to a million+ city. In UK, you only need to go a few dozen miles.

Ha! They have to pay through their healthcare in taxes! Trust me, you dont want the government to control healthcare. For one, does the government need to control anything else? They already take 45% of everything you make(in US). Second, look at Canada, they are all trying to get healthcare in the US.

Yeah but you also drive cars over there that get 1.75 metric truckloads of miles per gallon. Im sure if i spark welded a car frame over the top of a riding lawnmower i could afford to pay $9 as well.

Yeah but thats mostly in the NE or SW coast. Everyone else (the majority of the country) are gus-guzzling, pickup driversDtnoip92

I meant the US, not UK just to clear up confusion

My point is (read original post) that if you need to go to a nearby city, you need to drive hundreds of miles. In the UK its a few minutes. The nearest "big" city near Denver is what, Salt Lake City or something? And also in other cities, public transportation is crap.

FYI the US is part of the top 2% in the world, so just imagine what the common Chadian, Brazilian, Chinese, ... etc makes in a given lifetime. Comparitively to their cost of living at least.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Evens out....costs a lot to live there as well.Colonel_Cool

I'd imagine it also makes a lot of money from tourism as well.

You know what, I've heard both sides from Canadians. So obvioiusly their healthcare system isn't as cut & dry as many make it out to be...
