If the US was free, peaceful, had a booming economy, had a balanced budget, had sound money, had safe streets, had no minimum wage, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income in the past, are Americans happier now that the USA is a police state, at war, has a dead economy, is in debt, has a minimum wage, and high taxes?
"Happy".
We just don't want to endanger our paychecks or jail inmate status. I am not sure if that equates to happiness, exactly.
But that just might be my faggy Californian perspective.
