Hey, Donna. That’s not such a bad idea. Other countries routinely are rated better by their own citizens in matters of work life, Healthcare, education. Etc. Maybe they have something. The propoganda in America spread by it’s corporate owners and politicians that this country is the “shining city on the hill” has resulted in unbelievable suffering. And unbelievable profits for a very few.
Worked at a power plant, anything over 8 hrs was time and a half. On Sundays it was double time. Back in the day before our sleaze balls in Washington passed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) into law, along with many other free trade agreements, we had strong unions that got good pay for our lower level workers. Now days all the jobs have been shipped overseas, if you don’t have a good technical, medical, or mechanical skill good luck.

Here in France we pay tax twice… Deducted automatically from our pay-packet and again at the end of the financial year…

Donna the Down-trodden! Sounds like Donna needs a new employer. But I don’t think emigrating to France is a solution….
