Yes, I agree. America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country, including the countries of Europe.
In the American view, there is nothing vile or degraded about serving your customers either as a CEO or as a waiter. The ordinary life of production and supporting a family is more highly valued in the United States than in any other country. America is the only country in the world where we call the waiter "sir," as if he were a knight.
People live longer, fuller lives in America.
In America the destiny of the young is not given to them, but created by them.
America has gone further than any other society in establishing equality of rights.
America has found a solution to the problem of religious and ethnic conflict that continues to divide and terrorize much of the world. Visitors to places like New York are amazed to see the way in which Serbs and Croatians, Sikhs and Hindus, Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants, Jews and Palestinians, all seem to work and live together in harmony. How is this possible when these same groups are spearing each other and burning each other's homes in so many places in the world?
America is the only country in the world that extends full membership to outsiders. An American could spend 40 years in India but would not become Indian. In America, by contrast, hundreds of millions have come from far-flung shores and over time they, or at least their children, have in a profound and full sense "become American."
Twice in the 20th century, the United States saved the world -- first from the Nazi threat, then from Soviet totalitarianism. What would have been the world's fate if America had not existed? After destroying Germany and Japan in World War II, the United States proceeded to rebuild both countries, and today they are American allies. Now we are doing the same thing in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet America never stays to rule that country.
America is far from perfect, and there is lots of room for improvement. In spite of its flaws, however, American life as it is lived today is the best life that our world has to offer. Ultimately America is worthy of our love and sacrifice because, more than any other society, it makes possible the good life, and the life that is good.

I've been to many countries and the fact of the matter is I would much rather live in the USA than anywhere else. Apparently so does a lot of the rest of the people of the world. Else why is there so many that risk everything, including sometimes their lives and the lives of their families, just to get here?

the place do you think of Soc Sec funds comes from? We placed funds interior the Eagle's mouth as quickly as we are youthful so the Eagle craps for us as quickly as we get outdated. besides you may consume a number of that 'ends meat' you stated on your question. you will probable be greater helpful off in case you had finished 'crumy' skul that taxpayers gave to you. Soc Sec is meant to be supplementary earnings so decrease back on the beer and cigs.

Agree. It's not perfect but anyone should feel lucky to live here. If they don't, they are clueless to what is going on in the rest of the world.

It's a great place that could be made better. Nobody is without fault, and anyone who tells you otherwise is out to take something from you.
