The rest of the developed world? What do you really know about the rest of the developed world? Wages are shit in most countries. Most of the so-called "free shit" the European countries dispense goes to their professional classes. That "free college" you've heard so much about is rationed — their working class kids get shunted away from a college track quite early. Like eighth grade early. The socialism in Europe is a huge gyp by which their elites bilk the working stiff.
