"Report: 1 in every 100 Americans behind bars"

It probably just means our law enforcement is better organized and has better equipment... would could be expected in a wealthy nation.

but yup there is also a lot of stuff that could land u in prison..
but a lot of people are also repeat offenders.
bottom line is these people are in there for a reason or another.
They did something bad to someone else, like stealing, or murder, or assault.. or got caught with drugs probably on multiple occasions

But then with that argument you would expect, UK, France, Germany, Japan et cetera to be up there with the US at the top of the list. That isnt the case, quite the reciprocal. Perhaps one can even go to the extent of saying the UK and Germany have better law enforcement. To my knowledge the UK have CCTVs camera sset up.

I bet we got more excess cash floating around to spend on drugs in the United States than Europe... same as we got more excess cash floating around to buy big SUV"s etc..

Excess cash? You mean the kind where we borrow about 3 billion dollars a day from China because we have no money here? We are in a defecit, if you consider defecit spending to be excess cash, then..............I guess you could make the stretch to say we have more CREDIT to spend on things like this. As it stands now though, the US has no surplus.

I still prefer to live in the USA than in Europe,.. even tho Europe has more lax tax laws on investments, basically tax free in a lot of nations there.

I was born in Europe BTW.. so I got some idea, what it is like there.

U're right the deficit needs to be dropped with the elimination of BS spending, and not starting any more wars for a long long time.
