Having just returned from a visit to Europe, I experienced first hand the negative effects of socialism. Here are some examples: Restaurants do not serve free water. All beverages have to be purchased. Minimum cost of a half liter of water is three euros ($4.20). A half liter of coca cola costs three euros. Public rest rooms have a fee to use them ranging from 50 cents in euros to 1,50 euros - $.70 to $2.10. A Big Mac at McDonalds costs 11,30 euros ($15.82.) Every item purchased has a 19% VAT tax added. We stayed in ten different hotel rooms. All were very substandard to USA standards. Two did not have hot water. I saw laundry hanging outside the homes in many incidences for drying. Yep, Europe is a nice place to visit, but I am sure glad that I live in the USA where capitalism has given us such a high standard of living. Socialism is suicide. Vote Republican on 11/2.
