Reply #6: You Realize They May Be Unreachable [View All]

You realize they may be unreachable. Trying to pass the word along that middle-class West Europeans have a more prosperous lifestyle runs counter to decades of assumptions and propaganda here in the US. Aging baby-boomers like me still have this background picture of the poor unfortunate West Europeans digging out from the rubble of World War II (And the sexagenarians and septuagenarians who listen to Faux Noise have that impression much more firmly than the rest of the fifty-plus cohort does). And if Red State America does one thing exceedingly well, it practices denial.

I think the members of America's screwed classes will only wise up as the "reverse" brain drain revs up and America's best and brightest start crossing the Atlantic in force to seek better lives for themselves and their families.
