Too bad people in the US aren't happy at all: http://www.theroadtothehorizon.org/2009/01/worlds-most-happiest-countries-and.html Didn't people in Denmark pay close to 75% of their income to taxes? |
You missed "one of".
Note that the USA is still a major leader when it comes to technological advancments in a lot of fields. For example medical technology.
Also comparing relative happiness is a silly thing to do. Happiness studies can only really done interperson.
As people have different definitions of "Happy".
Edit: (also looking at the report... a lot of socialist states are below the US even if you wished to judge happiness like that. Which is stupid.)
