Some of the greatest years of my life were living and working in Europe with my family experiencing the continent as it should be. We got to see how Europeans live and the freedoms that they experience. Most of my time was spent in Stuttgart Germany one of the larger cities in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Most of the Germans that worked in my office lived in nice condos or houses drove Mercedes and BMW's built for the Autobahn. Most only had one car due to great public transportation some only using their cars on the weekends and during vacations. Tax rates are higher, but there not paying $800 a month for medical or dental care. Their property taxes are much lower. They were just average non-college educated workers all though well paid. Their German taxes were in the 30 percentile. I would argue that tax rates aren't indicative of your quality of life.


The stress level of Americans seems to be at an all-time high, 1 in 3 being one paycheck away from poverty and homelessness. I recently heard, 7 out of 10 American's don't have $1000.00 in savings. There is a better way of living, and I have seen it. What is the definition of Freedom we always hear about how free we Americans are? We must find a way for more Americans to share in the American dream instead of the hollow reality.
