I think people come here despite the government.

If they wanted a good government they would move to some country in Europe which pays slightly more taxes but they get way more value for it.

I don't think the US government is doing a good job at all for the amount of taxes we pay.

As someone from europe let me assure you that the government also provides shit value for all the taxes we pay. The majority of taxe money get's just wasted and that is even the best case, worst case it is used for active suppression and attack of people and their rights.

It's hard evidence that shows European healthcare systems being more effective yet costing much less.

European countries have safety nets much more rigorous than the United States.

Education is much cheaper in many European countries than the US.
