This is hilarious and wrong in nearly every aspect. Taxes in the USA are in many States higher than in Europe (remember, you pay both Federal and State taxes, then you pay for health insurance on top). The weather in most of Europe is far from "awful" - Spain, Portugal, most of France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece...oh yes, if you think glorious sunshine and balmy air is awful then yes, Europe has awful weather. And awful food! Often the nearest McSlop is several kilometers away! Oh no!

As for languages, seriously? Who can't learn at least one other language? And as for the cost of living, while Switzerland is exorbitant, Portugal is much, much cheaper than many parts of the USA but delivers a much better experience.

To be fair, however, Europe is total rubbish when it comes to gun violence. Whereas in the land of the brave & the home of the morbidly obese, 33,000 people die of gunshot wounds every year, year after year after year, sad little Europe barely manages 700 despite having a population 120 million larger than the gun-friendly USA.

So yes, definitely avoid Europe. Only civilized people want to live there.

Oh - the UK doesn't count as Europe, by the way. By definition, any nation committing self-harm (Brexit) is far from civilized, and the weather is truly atrocious.
