Equating Bernie to Chavez, VZ to DK: being kind in saying, "exaggeration."
Germany big enough? Remember, it's got contingent of former lazy ol' commies, too. Very successful doing just what Bernie says. 
Helping works, not just for Europeans. And Germany has had a large influx of Turkish/ Portuguese too.
As far as ethics: Americans work FAR longer hours, for less wages, less benefits, less time off. This is true of the working class, especially. Your charge that Americans are less "disciplined" than others is bogus.
Remember now, our leadership began during the 50s. We had a large African-American and Latino population then, too. I might remind you that our economy still is the wonder of the world. It is wealth disparity that's the problem: "wage stagnation" and a tax system that overly benefits the wealthy and the very wealthy. Thanks to Reaganomics, our investment in education has shrunk.
I think you're the one who'd be happier in another country, a 3rd world one with very low taxes.
