Just taking a brief look, i dont see major differences in tax rates between the 3, so how US/UK are free market capitalists and Germany not i don't understand.
This is more politics than sports, i guess, so perhaps its better to discuss in the another sub-forum.
In my ignorant opinion as an outsider, Germany has always been more egalitarian (or trying to be) than the US and Britain, economically speaking, albeit being capitalistic. But what do I know.
On your second point, agreed.
