“Trapped by European-style Socialism—And I love It!” Claire Lundberg, a freelance writer and consultant who lives in Paris with her husband and one-year-old daughter, declared Friday in a column on Slate, the U.S. online magazine, “The coming presidential election represents a choice, says Mitt Romney: a choice between evil European-style socialism and good old American can-do capitalism. As a new mother in France, I’m here to argue that he’s wrong. Neither candidate represents actual European-style socialism. And it’s a damned shame they don’t. The women of America would have a much better shot at having it all if they did.” (NYTimes)
