    I wouldn't want to pay European taxes, tolerate crazy European politicians, or pay European prices. Real estate is terribly expensive, especially "villas on the Italian coast". Most Europeans live in tiny apartments and row houses. Not to mention catastrophic wars roll through Europe every half century or so, ruining everybody's lives and fortunes.

    Nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there.

    Winner. Add in the major social upheaval, the arrogant attitude, and growing anti-Semitism and Europe just isn't a place I'd want to live. In a few years, I'll be leaving CA but not the continent or even the country.

    France used to be one of the cradles of Western civilization and culture. Now it is 30% or 40% muslim and the whole country is a shithole.

    Germany has a lot of skinhead neo Nazis

    England has soccer. We have football. England has cricket. We have baseball.

    Sweden- Taxes so high a middle class income wouldn't pay the car note on a Volvo or Saab.

    Well they look to the east, they look to the west
    The third world wonders, which way's the best?
    We got freedom, we got soul
    We got blue jeans and rock 'n' roll​
    Man, there ain't no choice, it's better in the U.S.A.
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    You can be what you want, say what you wanna say
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    How can I make you understand, it's better in the U.S.A.?
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)​
    I hear the same propaganda day after day
    It's gettin' so hip to knock the U.S.A.
    If we're so awful and we're so bad
    You oughta check the night life in Leningrad​
    Man, it ain't even close, it's better in the U.S.A.
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    If you could see behind the curtain life is cold and gray
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    How can I make you understand, it's better in the U.S.A.?
    (It's better, it's better)
    I think I'll play​
    Nobody's perfect and change comes slow
    It's really up to you which way you wanna go
    You can lean to the left and lean to the right
    You can stand in the dark, you can stand in the light​
    Drivin' on the beach on a night in June
    Me and my baby in the lover's moon
    They're playin' sweet soul music, got it turned up loud
    Make me feel so good, make me feel so proud​
    Man, there ain't no choice, it's better in the U.S.A.
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    Well they'd be movin' here from Moscow if they could only find a way
    (It's better in the U.S.A.)
    How can I make you understand, it's better in the U.S.A.? Baby, baby
    (It's better)​
    We got the burgers and fries in the U.S.A.
    We got the friendly skies in the U.S.A.
    We got the beautiful girls in the U.S.A.
    Got the beautiful curls in the U.S.A.​
    We're drivin' beautiful cars in the U.S.A.
    We're diggin' movie stars in the U.S.A.
    We get to make romance in the U.S.A.
    Let the little girl dance in the U.S.A.​
    It's better, baby, nice sweater, baby
    What do you say you and me go for a little drive?
    Come on
    It's better, it's better, it's better​

    I liked the little speech, and the girl, too! Not necessarily in that order!
