One of the wonderful things about America is that anyone is free to up and move to Europe whenever they want.
In this regard, US citizens are less free than citizens of most other countries in terms of leaving.
Oh sure. People living paycheck to paycheck are just one decision away from moving to the EU.
The ones who spend all their energy babbling away at me about how much better it is in Europe generally did their absolute best to leave there and come here (to the US). And I generally consume less than they do.
