> European society proves that Americans could have true freedom and quality of life if it weren't for corporations and oligarchs effectively owning our government.

Europeans have far more restrictions on their rights of speech, self-defence, and freedom of conscience than the Americans. They are also substantially poorer than Americans, and those numbers get worse when you account for America’s average being skewed lower by having a higher proportion of recent immigrants with lower earning potentials.
