Well I have been working for one of the largest Fortune 500 Companies, and one of the largest corporations in the world. While there are people that are the way you describe, it is not the norm. Most people i the office environment just go about their day doing their jobs and leave when their time is up. And thats it. Sure there are people who get a little crazy about their work, but there are benefits to those who are like that. Alot of the people who do work like that end up retiring at a much earlier age than everyone else, so they can go and do things with the money they earned as a result of their hard work. And I am not talking like 3-5 years earlier, I mean 10+ years earlier.
Not to mention that the corporate world is only one side to the US, I know for a fact that laborers do not do such things, and they make up a much larger part of the US working force than the corporate workers.
The US is not anti-social, you just need to broaden your views because right now its very narrow.

I looked up the average retirement age in the US, it seems to be 62 years old. I doubt this is even 3-5 years less than European countries, and it obviously isn't anywhere near 10 years less...
Some people seem to talk a lot about early retirement but end up never doing it, I wonder if that's the case for a lot of people in the US?
Personally I'd rather enjoy my time off right now when my mind and my body are fresh, rather than having an earlier retirement.

Where did I say that everyone works for early retirement and everyone get there 3-5 years early or even 10 years early?
