At one point in “Open Veins of Latin America” Eduardo Galeano states that “the original 13 states of the US are basically built by human surplus from Europe”. How true! And it’s still the case.
American politicians would never be successful in Europe: they are too stupid, unsophisticated, and arrogant for that. On the other hand, European politicians also don’t have a chance in the US: they have scruples.
