>>> European politicians constantly tried to emulate aspects of the American System.
Not today's system. The system they wanted to emulate was that of the 50s/60s/70s, which was a socialist utopia compared to the America of today.
No European politician today would suggest denying healthcare to sick children, or a return to debtors prisons. Those things are happening. Nevada is about to elect a literal pimp, a man who proudly operates several brothels, as a state representative. Things are very different today. Europe is not trying to emulate the US anymore.
What's wrong with operating legal brothels? It sounds like you can't shake your puritanical American view of sec if you think legal sex workers are bad.
Nothing per se. But you just don't see many politicians promote such backgrounds as a plus. The guy's book is called "The Art of the Pimp", his really show "cathouse". His attitude to women and employees is horrible. This guy is is just plain sleazy. But he won the republican primary in a red state. He will win.
