@Scotsboyuk, it's interesting 2 read yr post. Let me add my experience, what I heard from my friend and ex-colleague Seamus from Derry. After an annual co meeting in a pub, when making friends he seemed filled with grief over considering himself as a subject 2 the Queen and I clearly felt his sorrow about living on a land his country was once robbed of. (No ill intention was meant, I just wanted 2 pinpoint that not every blessed subject is happy about living in GB.)

@scot - that's why our people don't travel, don't have two cars. But the reason is that they weren't used to it, they better go deeper into their pockets or spend their savings. But now after political and economical changes, this trend appears here too... Probably I was blind, but I also worked with some people from UK, and their monthly income was about 3500 - 4000£ - isn't it enough? And when I asked them: is it enough in your country? Answer: average... So?

@Atlis
No amount of money will ever be enough because as you earn more you spend more. £4000 a month is a good salary in Britain, most people in the UK earn considerably less than that, so the people you spoke to were probably quite comfortable.
As Slovakia is now a member of the EU you will no doubt notice prices and taxes rising, but hopefully the average Slovakian wage should also rise too.

No, we have now one general tax - 19% - one of the lowest in EU. But I know what you're trying to tell me. The situation in our country is worsening, but later on, things will go better I hope. :-) keep smilin' scot, nothing is as bad as it seems...

As I can read your posts here I think no doubt that political and economic system in capitalism is sick.
Globalization and monopolization of the system is the biggest mistake of capitalism.Almost nobody is happy and satisfied in your country.
Average ppl can hardly earn such amount of money to be happy with it.I don't know why but it seems to me the same as the era of socialism in my country.

@ Atlis 19 % tax in our country is VAT - value added tax.
I'm afraid we a have lot of other taxes.

Europe is not overtly capitalistic when compared with the U.S.; indeed Europe has always had a much stronger socialist trend. One only has to look at the American health care system to see what extreme they are willing to take capitalism there. Europeans see state run hospitals and free medical care as a right, not a privilege. We are very lucky in Europe that we have struck this balance, even if it isn't always the best, it allows millions of people access to free health care and education as well as housing, but to name a few of the provisions.

And you must pay to your insurance company and for the medicine. It's not free.
