Thanks for posting this.
Almost scary and certainly good reason to think about a few things. Spending quite some time in Europe I can only confirm that at least in the big countries like France and Germany, they just reject this as BS while refusing to face the facts.

In the smaller countries and certainly so in Sweden, people know but don't see a need to do anything about it. Except for leaving the country if they cannot live with it.

Also the "new" European countries have fully understood and thus head down a different path while looking at the performance of the world economy in general and the US economy in particular. All of that while Ole Europe lead by France and Germany try to impose restrictions against their low flat rate taxes, which go by the name "Tax Dumping" in France and Germany.

Those Baltic countries and Ireland are indeed providing some light at the end of the tunnel.
