Are Europeans jealous of American wealth?

I concede that the quality of life is likely to be better in Europe for the poor, but that is not what maters to me most. My question would be; if I am poor, what country would offer me the best chance, no matter how slim, of becoming not poor? The answer I have come up with is;

1. New Zealand
2. Australia
3. U.S.
4. Canada
5. Singapore

I base this on the ease of small business to open, operate, and succeed. For me that is the key to true social mobility. The reason Europe does not make that list is because a Nanny State provides more security now at the price of less opportunity tomorrow.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm just saying that I personally would rather have opportunity that security.

The USA does better in terms of HDI, GDP, happiness etc. than most areas of europe. europeans are jealous of US wealth.

yet theyre really not? europe doesnt suffer from the same social ills america does and we dont let our citizens fall into complete poverty. america has one of the largest divides between rich and poor in the western world that is nothing you should be proud of but then again you being the casual fascist you are youd beg to differ wouldnt you?

Aren't poverty rates more or less identical? I'm more interested in how many billionaires you have.

The type of crime that is completely our of control in Athens is non-violent crimes like simple theft, pick-pocketing, and especially fraud. The institutional corruption and fraud is so widespread at every level of the society, especially government, that it would be very hard to measure accurately.

Even the people who are not professional criminals are crooks.
