I don't know about "nice lifestyles", except that the Europeans take a lot of vacations and are periodically on strike. The structure of the countries is basically socialist. When it comes time for health care, they get the shaft. The European countries are capitalist economies with socialistic elements intertwine. The European countries have been around for centuries but have never reached the level of the USA in wealth, achievement, etc. They have never had the quantity and quality of natural resources that we have.
