    Thats a pound sign, not a euro sign.

    We have healthcare, but we pay for it in taxes. Our housing costs are just as fucked as yours.

    Stop making excuses for being shit with money.

      a) I am shit with money. I admit it. I need help. I spend on cards because it is an addictive tactic when dealing with depression, adhd, and an alcoholic wife and the related shit home time, etc.

      b) compared though, our US healthcare is so disgustingly expensive compared to other countries. I would love to be taxed more an not have to worry about healthcare. :/

      Listen if you want to just ignore the realities that make income differ geographically and rely just on your expectations then so be it play fucking dumb. the us is notoriously fucked with its high cost of living. Your taxes pay for a functioning healthcare, you can talk when you medications costs thousands a year, a trip to the er puts you in multiple thousands of dollars in debt, when you arent getting subsidized education, when you have non existent public transportation in low cost of living areas. I guess with your demonstrated lack of critical thinking its no wonder the UK is turning into a fucked fascist place like the US.
