If the US had the same taxation and regulatory environment as Europe you wouldn't have Facebook in the first place lol
Tax treatment of equity compensation varies among European nations though.
Really, what is the longest period of time a country has existed without a repressive regime coming to power and abusing the institutions and populace?
Just as an example---because the old rivalry was USA vs USSR---Russia has endured two devastating and traumatic world wars, a revolution, a civil war, and Stalin. And they still rivaled US power throughout the cold war.
I think Americans really overstate the effectiveness of their economic and political system, and understate the huge advantage they have geographically.
Now, if you're talking just about wars that don't involve enemy attacks on American facilities, then technically World War II still counts. So no, not 151 years.
With that said, I do agree with your final sentence.
