Yeah, but for that tax, you actually get civil services like healthcare, housing, higher education, and a voting system where it isn't winner-take-all. The taxes I pay in the US are about the same (yes, slightly less), and yet I don't get any of those in any real capacity.

that's cool

i knew about the health care, but not all the other stuff. i guess my knowlege of parliment and the monarchy is a bit spotted. i keep forgetting how great england is. Though a very hard country to become a citizen of. i've always wanted to live there, ever sice i was a child.
though i do have a really big weakness to accents. Scottish, Irish, German, and exspecially the English Accents--make me all jelly like. hrm. i have an accent fetish..LOL.

I donnow how "great" England is. It's got more than its share of problems. I'm currently living in the US, and have been for nearly 20 years, and there is a reason for it. Of course, the current state of the US is pretty dreadful, I always think "it'll get better".

i've been thinking that

since Reagan was in office. for a while this country was doing good, when Clinton was in office ( and i still think it's sad that he got impeached for a stupid extra marital blowjob, and bush gets away with murder, corruption, law breaking, and lies). i do know england has it's share of problems, i mean, though we do have a neo-nazi uprising, and the horribble KKK(ugh racist morons), you do have the largest amount of neo-nazis north of germany. and i also hear of this group called 'the lads in white' which has been explained to me, the UK's version of the KKK.
Part of me can never understand why people from the UK, and northern Europe want to live in this country. but then again i look at third world and war torn countries and get the attraction to this country.
I'm just hoping and waiting for the day this world works as one big fluid machine. and there is no more intolerance, injustices, racial, religious, and govermental wars. as well as, less corporate greed. exspecially in this country where corporations are pretty much the law.
