Why do we try to compare ourselves with other countries. How many of them have over 20 million undocumented individuals "living in the shadows" and not paying taxes?
I visited Cuba last year. Our guide was boasting about their free health care. Considering we were told to bring Kleenex with us because many Cuban bathrooms don't have toilet paper I didn't think that they had much to boast about. If a Cuban owns a car, it's because he had relatives in the US send him enough money to buy it. There once beautiful neighborhoods are now overgrown and in disrepair. But, they don't have to pay for health care. It's amazing Americans aren't trying to relocate there.
