Meanwhile, the EU backs away slowly whistling nonchalantly. Can't let the FIFA thing remind people to look into how their social welfare system is paid for ultimately. I know we do the same shady business practices too but I'm just here to annoy the people who think the EU is above all that because "they're better than the US."

Don't you know the billionaires worked hard and earned it? All on their own, and it's definitely not built upon the pillars of society.

Some nice whataboutism there. You do realize you can criticize both for different reasons right?

The EU has massive corruption issues as well as a large rise of right nationalism. I think having seen Brexit happen, the Dutch and Irish dodging corporate taxes like Neo and Hungary turning into a semi-dictatorship makes it pretty clear there are problems, no?
