Please see the attached table for the Quality of Living Survey ranking. Austria and Switzerland are very much part of the Deutschland Kultur and clearly #1. There are other smaller Germanic countries, e.g., Denmark and Norway, with smaller cities that are also part of this top group in the quality of cultural and material life. The second rate countries are smaller Anglo-Saxon countries. America is too big to be anywhere close to the top. The worst city in the world is also an American city—Baghdad. Beware of Americans bringing the gift of democracy! Only a morally bankrupt population could have re-elected GW Bush in 2004, who would go down in history as the worst President, and, regrettably, many decent Americans, a majority indeed (brainwashed but decent), would pay the price for the morally bankrupt system now firmly in place, supported by Democrats and Republicans taking turns.

 

No one can deny the advantages that the current Americans inherited after the end of the WW II and relative advantage over the Germans was enormous. What happened since?! Not to ignore the fate of 6M helpless Jews, most ordinary Germans were also victim of the greedy American business thugs (when Wilson, a horrible President, entered the WW I after winning the election in which he promised to keep America out of the war) and later of democracy imposed by America and its allies. Americans, especially, baby Doomers, really need to figure out how they lost the greatest advantage any nation, or a generation, had ever inherited.

 

If you want to get an insight into the future of America read German history before 1913. In economic terms Germany has achieved what it had wanted before 1913, a customs union dominated by Germany (with Prussian leadership), in the form of the EU. It were the Prussians, under general Blücher, that put the British at the top at Waterloo and in another important war before that. No, democracy does not produce the best leaders nor is it the best political system. Poles and Germans were victims of the Great Powers politics of the eighteenth century Europe and America was easily the biggest beneficiary. History has been extremely kind to Americans but not for long. America is too big to succeed, especially, as a democracy! Germans got one gang in power via democracy and Americans got two gangs. Furthermore, democracies degrade the demos.
