traveling abroad is expensive as shit. A lot of us dont have thousands of dollars to spend on flights across the atlantic, let alone enough to cover our increasing taxes without increasing wages.
Costs of daily life are increasing.
As for the fat part and lazy part, We are completely overworked (I got two jobs atm). That being said, Getting time off to legitimately travel would be nearly impossible for me. I am physically fit and rarely eat out.
I would rather travel for free and see some beautiful scenery in my backyard rather than spend half my savings to see somewhere for 2 weeks.
you make a good point. america is a massive country with some absolutely beautiful/epic places to visit. i've traveled much of america and am always amazed. camped out at the Grand Canyon some years back, place is mind blowing!

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Isn't mainland USA something like twice the size of Europe? European countries aren't much bigger than our states...
