Still, I think that this point is weaker when we compare within-first-world immigration than if we looked at immigration from poor countries. For a European, it may be hard to get into the US, but it is not utterly impossible (both my brothers did it), and I think the same holds the other way round.<br /><br />As for "which is better"... ok, too big for a blog comment.davidhughjoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123256773062047048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698298.post-90141647289395697652010-09-27T12:40:18.590+01:002010-09-27T12:40:18.590+01:00First...Arianna is to blame for the way she posed ...First...Arianna is to blame for the way she posed her bet.<br /><br />Anyway<br /><br />1.Us density 32 in/sq meter<br />EU density 115...<br />Did you control for that?<br /><br />2. For european there are smaller languages bareers to move to US than viceversa.<br /><br />3. immigration policy. It is easier for a qualified european to move to US than viceversa (ok, i´m sure about this only regarding Italy)<br /><br />-------------<br />I don´t think it is possible to assess whther US are better or worse then EU. But indeed they are two different ways of understanding democracy. I am happy to pay taxes and help people less lucky than me. I don´t believe that less taxes can boost growth and help those people by providing them with more opportunities. We know that a feature of the capitalism system are increasing returns or to put it as my granmother would say: money calls more money, shit more shit.<br />Statistics of income inequality proove it...Marconoreply@blogger.com
