That we are RICH............... that is now why we have a financial wreck on our hands. I know many people from different countries and they do not think twice about taking advantage of the programs that are to HELP people. And yes they are taking advantage and usually within days of coming. I deal with Hispanic, Indian, Filipino, Asian people and that is the #1 misconception, but America doles out the money and they take it so of course that is what they THINK. Also that Americans make a lot of money, they are materialistic, and are lazy and think they know everything. I am not trying to be mean, this is just what I have observed

As a Canadian, I seriously remember people questioning the intelligence of Americans after the 2004 presidential election. In fact, when I worked as a telephone survey interviewer, there was an open-response question asking the biggest difference between Canadians and Americans. One of the answers I got was intelligence. Since that was a while back, I can't remember what regarding intelligence, but I'm sure you can connect the dots. This, of course, does not reflect my personal views.

A misconception about Californians is that we all surf and live next door to celebrities.

Mostly, the part about it being the land of the free, home of the brave, greatest country in the world, equal opportunity, human rights, world police ... you see where I'm going with this.

That everyone is rich and that you don't have to work your butt off for what you have. Have you ever tried to teach a former communist how modern economics work? I do not think it can be done. I tried.
