Yeah, call me jealous... had to have quick dinner last night and couldn't make anything as yummy as a cheezsteak! Glad they were "seriously good." :wink:

Speaking of cheesesteaks, I think I'm in love with Penn Station.

The bread... OMG... THE BREAD! And the fresh cut fries... THE FRIES!!!!!

Yeah... I think about stopping there, but we always end up at Moe's....

I invented the Tokyo Cheesesteak while I was performing as an ambidextrous batsman and part time mascot for the Yakult Swallows. I was wise beyond my years. When I struck out to end the Japanese World Series, I was shamed from my own dojo. Fortunately my Tokyo Cheesesteak business was booming!

im an american and when i see things like that, its just sad. Yea i understand how american feel, we shouldnt have to force our self to understand someone who orders in a different language, but must the sign be so harsh? I bet it wouldnt have offend no one if the sign was just "Please order in English, we dont understand other language" or something alone those lines. Really must American have such big ego, that they dont know the line between racist or not. When american see things like that in other countries our ego scream "Look at them, they dont know how it like to be in AMERICA, the freedom...etc. etc. blah blah blah" but doesnt that make us a hypocrite? i say if we act like this in our own country what gives us the right to talk about other countries?

"Please order in English, we dont understand other language"

Iz believes we'z has us ahz winner bubba.

Well, who can argue with a well written and brilliantly constructed argument like that?

I hope that bozo likes paying 50 percent of his income to the French Government. He must be happy that his socialist buddy is President.

The only true americans are native americans and they weren't english speakers( and they didn't call themselves americans!!). Get over yourselves " AMERICANS" it won't be long and you will be too embarrased to leave the country proclaiming "I'm American" this country is becoming the laughing stalk of the world, no thanks to our uneducated but LOUD citizens!

I have a college degree. This country is the laughingstock of the world because of your President and his appeasement policies. How dare you insult the hard working individuals of this nation? I know it is probably difficult for you to read, Americans work more hours than any nation on this earth. Since you are more than likely a socialist, work is probably a dirty four letter word to you. By the way, Jethro, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States is larger than the next four nations combined. It is arrogant people like you who think they know how to run the lives of millions of people. So, how is that hope and change working for you, now, at 10 percent unemployment? Your buddy in the White House has no business experience, zip, zero, and nada. The people at the local Geno's shop are more qualified in business than your man in the White House. The working people are tired of being ripped off by you and your elite buddies. Trillions and trillions in social spending and more poverty, what a great track record.

I'd gladly give up 40% of my income to live abroad and have the benefits of doing so.

We pay it here in gas, cars, and our wasteful lives... it all works out the same IMHO, it's just you get a better infrastructure abroad for your money.

You don't have to.

While Joe the Plumbnuts is right that the marginal income tax rate in France is higher (40% compared with 35% in the USA) that is not the average tax paid.

Let's take for an example Bubba, a head of household earning $100,000 US and compare it to Jean-Pierre earning the equivalent 73,800 €

: income tax.gif (12.11 KiB) Viewed 105 times

Jean-Pierre pays no tax on the first 5,875€ and only 5.5% on the next 5,875€, after that it's 14%, then 30% and finally 40%.

He pays a net 17,058 € (US $23,000) or 23% of his income.

Bubba starts paying 10% tax immediately. He never hits the top bracket and tops out in the 25% bracket.

He pays a net $19,848 or 20% of his income.

Of course Bubba (or his employer) has to pay for health care insurance. If that costs more than $3,262 per yer he's behind Jean-Pierre. I believe the average premium for a family is $6,328.

It is true in the US the more you earn the more income you retain. Conversely if you earn less you retain more in France.

Simplistic, since it doesn't take differences in tax deductions into account, but a reminder that the details are important.

So Liv, unless you earn over $100,000 you would be better off in France. Cheap wine too.

Congratulations, I'm sure your mommy is proud of you.

Your president is very highly regarded in the world. Remember the Nobel prize thingy? Even if it was awarded just for 'not being Bush' (which it wasn't) it indicates how the rest of the world viewed your country

NYT About 80 percent of people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain have a positive view of Mr. Obama, a ratio that declines only slightly, to about 70 percent, in the other two countries surveyed, Britain and the United States. The only politician who comes close is Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, who gets a positive rating from two-thirds of those in Continental Europe but from only one-third of Britons and Americans.

Seriously... I'd love to see a real life cost comparison. I'm really looking into it. Not France necessarily, but Brussels. They have a "free" French university there for about 800€ a year. I'm still not sure on the complete details yet and there does seem to be an international premium... but rent is cheap there, transportation is cheap... (no cars necessary) and we found food exceptionally cheap and close.

Compared to here were we're putting 40,000 miles a year on our cars just to go to work and take the kids to school. Food costs about $50 a day minimum for a family of 4, and then you have car insurance, payments, etcetera and so on.... and I still have no health care...

It's looking like a provocative choice even if it does mean taking student loans out again. I can live there and go to school for a fraction of an American University.

It is true in the US the more you earn the more income you retain. Conversely if you earn less you retain more in France.

Thanks for pointing out the flaws of socialism AP. Which group has more incentive to work harder?

Poor people in France

(those poor folk earning less than $100,000)

And they'll be earning progressively less as time goes on under a system that does not encourage growth. Anyone who aspires to make wealth will do it outside the country.

The more they earn, the more they have.

All western countries have progressive income tax whereby the wealthy pay higher tax rates - even the US.

The idea is simple - those whith higher incomes have higher disposable income and pay proportionally more.

If there is a disincentive for someone in France earning over $100,000 to work harder because they will be paying 5 cents on the dollar more in taxes, then imagine the incentive for someone in France to get a job where they pay no income tax compared with someone who would be paying 10 cents on the dollar in the USA

I don't know anyone who would turn down $50,000 extra income because they would only get to keep $30,000 intead of $32,500. People don't get to earn over $100,000 without a good work ethic. Encourging lower earners to work harder makes more sense to me.

it wasn't worth the wait... go to DiNic's at Reading Terminal Market, beef brisket is better than a cheesesteak.

Stupid liberal witch we speak english in philly just because you have a WEIRD acdent we can't understand doesn't mean you get to judge.But just like all stupid liberals you are narrow minded but think you are cool.You aren't.So go fug yourself and stay outta Philly.
