Had a conversation with my Austrian
born friend last night. He does
expensive upholstery work on vintage
autos. He says over there, only the
very, very rich have the money for the
kind of cars he works on here, while
its very common for our upper middle
class to be involved in the hobby.
He says in Germany the average
person is lucky to be able to pay
the bills to keep a roof over his or
her head.
He says we wouldn't want that sort
of government.
My argument was, what's the alternative? |
