Much greater percentage of entrepreneurs and capitalist, for sure. Speaking of my own extended family but can be said of my friends as well. They don't rely on social security, welfare, or retirement annuities, at least they strive not to and if they can help it. However a few cannot quite make it and ended up having to count on ss and retirement annuities. My uncles??, heck they all built nice fat nest eggs and never expected nor get any handouts from somebody else. Retirement? - what's that? but waste of accumulated wisdom. Of course if one only managed to accumulate worthlessness and irrelevance. These are just some of the gargantuan differences between the two societies that no one ever talk about nor studied to determine the inherent impacts on the two economies.
