I'd rather be poor in the US, than poor in some craphole like Darfur. I hate listening to people in the US whine about how broke they are and how bad they have it. They wouldn't know bad if it sat on their heads and wriggled.

Yep. This is my home, so naturally I'm going to feel this way. I'm sure others will disagree, but I happen to love being an American. Life can be very hard for people in different economic classes, yet sometimes the poor have life better than those who aren't poor but aren't rich either. For one thing, the poor have better access to healthcare than many people who make too much money to qualify for public assistance and federally-funded healthcare. Many hard-working middle-class Americans can't afford to go to the doctor for preventative care or when they are ill because they have no insurance. Still, in this country, everybody has a chance to make a good life for themselves and to worship as they please and to pretty much live how they please and to use their power to elect their own government. It's a pretty great place to live - at least for this American, even if many may not agree.

yes, I actually think this country is too good to the "working class" and " low class". People always want more from the upper class but you don't see the hours they work, the kids ballgames they have gave up. Nothing worse than to hear someone who is jealous of upper class, if you want more go and get it. That's what makes this country great, you can choose to be poor or you can choose to be rich. Just remember their and sacrifice's either way.

Besides living in Israel, I do. We are a diverse country, yet we are Americans. It is unfortunate that we only seem to come together completely unless there is a tragedy. We are all Americans then. It would seem to me that the trivial things that don't seem to matter after a tragedy ought to not matter before one. May God Bless U.
