Do we take life in America too seriously?

I've heard that in France they take a month long vacation every year. Why don't we do that here in the U.S.?

And in Sweden, maternity leave is 2 years PAID. Corporate America mainly insurance companies control America. This is why we're so bitter and burned out.

I know, a lot of European countries have longer lunch breaks and everything. I wish it was like that in the US. We work so hard but our dollar isn't worth 2cents compared to those laid back Europeans!
