No, in Europe, liberalism is generally successful Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 04/04/2013 06:15:34 AM

Poverty in Europe is generally at much lower levels than the US, because welfare spending is generally much higher (funded by higher taxation).

Poverty in the US is greater, due to less spending on welfare, and lower taxation.

It isn't rocket science.
