Once again pundits turn an economic issue into a social one.
No one is entitled to anything. Are you "entitled" to subsidized healthcare by virtue of being born in a European country?
No, you're not, it's just a consequence of your birth. Maybe its not fair, life isn't fair. I bet every single individual on earth could identify some feature of themselves or their lives that they dislike that came about by chance as a result of their birth.
Not too mention that total income doesn't really matter as much as spending power does. I'd rather make $50k a year in Poland than $100k in SF Bay (at least, hypothetically, I don't actually want to live in any European country).
