Wages based on age ... min. wage $25.00 + for 25 year olds. This includes health care, education/college, childcare, clean and safe cities, great infrastructure, high speed trains that run on time, integrated tech. to help workers not developed to replacing them ... and a relaxed way of life that every American would envy ... they can do all of this because they don't spend all their money on the military as we do here in USA. You have got to see it to believe it. They actually vacuum the sidewalks in Amsterdam everyday! The high quality and daily freshness of the food there puts us to shame. Drugs are legal but you don't have a drug problem probably because life is so less pressured due a lifestyle far above the mere survival mode as it is here. Hey, you can smoke a cone anywhere while waving hello to the police. Lots of diversity and such a great 'live and let live' attitude.
