Is the USA the richest 3rd world country?

Question

What kind of modern country has such a high crime rate and has no health system to care for its people?

(By definition a question cannot be wrong)

ok, ok, my point is the huge divide in Rich and poor. You seee the pictures of the poor areas and you would think that you're looking at a 3rd world country. Their seems to be no support for the people at the bottom while the rich keep getting richer and richer.

I'm not anti American, I love the places I have visited all over the USA, but there are so many places I wouldn't want to visit (certain areas of LA/ Miami/ New York etc) because they are too dangerous.

Answer 1

It has a welfare system. It's just for very rich.

Answer 2

The USA is the world's richest country based on gross domestic product, followed by Japan, then Germany. Are you anti-American? There are many countries that like to mask where the country is failing or news that one does not hear about, but everything about America is public and known to all, the good and bad, which is why people like to criticize, I guess it depends on human nature ask questions, such as this.

Answer 3

To be fair though, it's not exactly an impartial question is it? It's a pretty loaded question, in fact. Also, the details you give in your loaded question are incorrect too. No health care system whatsoever? How about an "unfair" health care system? Don't a lot of so-called modern countries have relatively high crime rates?

Answer 4

We are more capitalistic than the UK so we have more poor here but we also get to keep more of our money. The tax rates are very low here compared to Europe. It all depends on what type of society you like living in. You can live in a socialist system where everyone is taken care of but everyone has to pay for the government to care for everyone. Or you can live in a capitalist system where everyone is responsible for themselves and keeps the money they earn. Both systems have their positives and negatives. Yes, if you are poor in America, no one is looking out for your a** but you. And if you are rich or middle class, no one is looking out for your a** either. There are many rich people who lose it all and many poor people who make it. It's just the way it is here and we like free enterprise.

Answer 5

You know when I talk it seems to me people do not understand me well-as I expect,There is some defect either in me or at some mental level- ( the clashes of the icons?as some at IT call it .I am not so literate at this cyberspace craft..i prefer to fly very low altitude. You say USA is the third( 3) richest country.OK Country-does it mean only in material riches or at human resources( with vices and all *** pending threats that cause bills on Terror to be rushed for legislation?)
I think a "rich" country all this should be taken in account -unless I am not so well at my mental Not really mad but ignorant at many thing I ought to know!).
As for the health system and crime rates I won' t comment it is a worldly problem(and with globalization there will be more to hear).
About that word "richest" I feel like fainting.Why? My computer( brains) is perhaps not working as it does- may be low voltage in the electricity supply!
Talking about that voltage the word USA clicks on my screen-Is there any low voltage there. No no I must correct myself ( because of the Law of terror-even the cyberspace can be invaded to catch the presumed terrorist( by any means! and there he goes to Guantamo Bay without appeal to rot for a while)
Yes back to that 'voltage' business -can rich USA not be more generous as to prove its wealth at intellectual property( so many migrant scientists there -imported or natives)in learning( not teaching-careful!) people of the world how to use their brains to positive thinking and behavior.Billions and billion of dollars could have been saved all at human behavior from education to election of its President?And there could have been no hot points in the world today-perhaps no Iraq for remote intelligence could have made Saddam gone and so many disagreements at Mid east solved?
No you won't believe me.OK,Think of the source of human behavior from the brains to the humvees , to Gauantanamo Bay staff and inmates , to keeping foreign troops overseas(Waw!)-to costly warships to Appollo in space?Rich USA is always big at spending! Will you get me-or the effects of dementia ( said to belong not only to the olds but those newly born too victims of that incurable in rich USA.!

Answer 6

Well,exactly to say U.S is a country where everything was far modernized when compared to world but if we move deeply and study the Indian Mythology we would be shocked to know that what ever is already written in our's(India) is what they are proving so finally to say the most crimes take place in western countries including US,UK,France...,etc but since their literacy rate is higher when compare to India so major health problems begin in US but spread faster in India,so when we compare overall,US is a nation where it possesses its place as first in development as well as destruction followed by England,France,Germany..,etc

Answer 7

You might also look at the health and literacy statistics for Cuba, a country that the US regards as backward. Cuban Adult literacy and infant mortality figures are both better than for the US capital state.

Answer 8

Dude. The poorest in the US still live a better life than most middle class anywhere else. So where did you see this wretched poverty and who are you comparing them with?

Answer 9

that's right we have terrible water, education systems, housing, and hospitals because you piss your self while watching the news and have to pay for your insurance. oh how terrible... this country sucks but it's better than alot of other places.

Answer 10
