It all has to do with opinion. I've been to a lot of countries to live and there is not one that I would rather live in, and none of them have anything that I would use to change this country. I find it amusing if not a bit sad to see spoiled Americans always looking over the fence into that other field for better grass. Sorry, but that field that everyone else wants is OURS. Still the BEST country in the World. I can always tell when someone is ignorant of what is really going on in other countries when it comes to the common man. Most countries have a middle class that is equivalent to our lower class lifestyle. Our welfare recipients live as well as the middle class in many countries, and that is easily proven. There are even studies done that provide insight to that statement. But, all these so called social justice folks think that those that do not produce deserve to have the same lifestyle as those of us that worked for what we have. Why is that?
Nope, in America we have the BEST chance of success, no matter who you are.
