I'm constantly astonished by the stupidity of American workers. They
work 50-hour weeks, get two weeks paid vacation, and still cheer when
the boss tells them to. "This is the greatest country in the world!"
they yell. "We're not like those stupid French!"

All this without realizing the French work 35 hours a week, get three
weeks off per year, and take two hours off at lunch to DRINK. Yeah,
that's stupid all right. America *is* Number One -- in hours worked
per person per week.


Hang on there would be a riot if the French only got 3 weeks off.,
more like 6 weeks ( 4 weeks is eu minimium) + bank holidays .
America is a great country, but obviously full of .......... starting
with the President.
Its also got a lot of poor people, negelected by their own govenment
as the world saw in New Orleans


People are "poor" in the US because they personally neglect things like
their own education and refuse to take any initiative in their lives.
