I guess this could go in other 'Topics', but it does cover more than one so ---
Last night on one of the 'talking heads' shows he explained his life in Britain, covering education and taxes during a time of their socialist 'experiment'.
Everyone had to take a test at sixteen, those that received the "free" college education totaled 2% only, for those tested. The rest where subjected to a life of blue collar jobs only, unless they [ or family] could afford to pay the approx. $100K cost. Keep in mind this was years ago when he was a teenager.
As far as the taxes - during the same era the British tax rate was 90% for the 'non-elite'. Today he indicated it's 'down' to 45%.
Any wonder why he moved?
-
No wonder at all. It must pain him to see the U.S. hurtling toward the totalitarian abyss as we are.
-
The comparisons are why the discussion started.
