Inside out: Inside EuropowerThis was a really interesting documentary on the differences between the U.S. and Europe, especially in the context of the EU failure to pass the EU constitution. But in the series of class system in America, one thing that jumped out at me was the phrase that in Europe they spend $8 in funding for programs for young people vs. $1 for funding for programs for adults. This is the kind of thing that is possible in Europe, which is much closer to socialism with enforced redistribution of weath, than in America, where you are basically given the freedom to succeed or fail, and no one is going to help you. But these are the kind of investments that really pay off in the long run. Yes, it's a ridiculously high tax rate, but that is exactly what you have to invest in in order to try and reduce crime and poverty in the long term. Well that's what I'd like to think. The problem with this logic is that if it's so true that investing in pre-schools and after school programs are so beneficial, then why are the crime rates virtually equivalent in the U.S.? It was an interesting theory...D
