Jonah: I’m with you when it comes to the tax rates of Our Oldest Enemy. When I meet immigrants and foreigners, I like to ask them what they think about America. I’ve gotten all kinds of responses over the years, but one of the comments I tend to hear from Europeans is that Americans work really hard–the subtext often being that we work too hard don’t know how to stop and enjoy life. This is clearly a cultural difference between the United States and Europe, and I’m pretty sure it’s real even if a really smart and trustworthy number cruncher can’t measure it to his satisfaction.
