I'm not going to say anything without first reading the book (If I manage to get my hands on it), but i would just like to remind, that the EU has already surpassed the USoA in many areas, predominantly the abundance of welfare, taxes, regulation, and so forth. So all the socialists of all shapes and forms (including individuals who claim, that paying larger (and large) taxes is in fact better for you, because you will get more out of them, than if you had the money in your pocket) needn't fear. The future is bright. For them.
