Quote: "other cool socialized stuff you all get"
And we have tea and crumpets for elevenses and the men dop their hats to passing ladies, you've been watching too many movies, Ive met American holiday makers, they come here and expect to be falling over castles and that Hugh Grant has a real accent
We pay more taxes in the UK than the US and living costs are much higher. We pay 22% basic tax and people that earn over 34000 GBP you pay 40% income tax, plus tax on property, doesn't matter if you own it or not, you still pay the full whack, we are taxed into oblivion, the UK is not a socialist paradise by a long stretch, for some odd reason Americans think it is and that they pay dear for products, come to the UK for your holidays and see how poor you will become, your money will go no where, even more so with the low exchange rates on the USD to the GBP, you will get nothing for your dollar, makes it dear for you to buy from us, and too expensive for us to sell to you as our stuff will be too expensive to sell to you, and that's just visiting, never mind living here, anyone that makes big money leaves the place.
By the way the only free thing we get is National health, ie health care, everything else you pay for,we also get a pension but so do US citizens, and yes US health insurance is way over the top expensive, thats criminal, so thats the only thing we get, everything else for us is worse in terms of paying out.
Now back on topic, Jeremiah you need to post a description of exactly what you want, perhaps even posting example images of the quality you want.
