Coming from Europe, everything in the US seems more complicated, and set up with the purpose of making it hard for less intelligent people.
Filing taxes is always the responsibility of the private citizen instead of the employee, the price of goods is displayed without sales tax and it's up to the citizen to calculate the real price, health insurance and car insurance are both overly complicated and full of clauses, financing and credit cards are literally shoved in your throat. Every process, especially when it comes to welfare and benefits, has at least double the steps as I've seen anywhere else. 10 minutes after I stepped foot in jfk 3 different people tried to swindle money from me, one of which succeeded (an airport employee) by pointing me to an unmarked private taxi when I asked him directions for the air train.
This is much more apparent than any other country I've been in. Has anyone else had the same impression?
