Seems like we're mimicking the "European Model" on lots of things lately. Makes me wonder when this concept will be adopted here. :innocent:

"Vacationing a Human Right, EU Chief Says"


"The European Union has declared travelling a human right, and is launching a scheme to subsidize vacations with taxpayers' dollars for those too poor to afford their own trips."

It's sad I tell ya. I can't afford a measly trip to the south of France. Perhaps the EU will finance a stay at a villa in Corsica. Or a large chateau near Carcassonne. I'm really not very picky. I'd take a small beach challet at Cannes.

Well, thats socialism for you. The wealth is evenly distributed, regardless of how hard you work.

This is amazing. No wonder they are in such economic trouble!!! This is the only part of the article that makes sense: "Mats Persson, of pro-reform think-tank Open Europe, told Britain's News of the World. "In this economic climate, it's astonishing that the EU wants to bribe people with cheap holidays." Maybe they should adopt some sort of fiscal responsibility policy. Now that would be radical

Where you adventure into the unknown and leave your brain home.

Wealth should not be "distributed", but rather earned IMO.

I know that you're joking.

.....but.....whom somebody gives (freely) what they have earned to should be their business, be it a relative, a charity, or some other cause they believe in.
