there is and has never been a country with a better standard of living than the United States of America
anyone can do anything they want and become wealthy if they WORK HARD and MAKE GOOD DECISIONS
you can choose your career, find your path, and find your dream
this is because we have had a laissez faire, capitalistic system where FREEDOM reigns and the government has little control over one's fate
geez, 13 cents for gas in Venezuala, free health care in Cuba (of course you have to be rich to get an x-ray) dah-ta-dah....
we must put up a fence to keep the "common man" from running away from here so that they can live with such luxuries
you leftist communists are not only ruining the country but your complete idiocy reminds me why we have such spineless, stupid, pandering politicians in this country as we do who are taking this country down
take an economics class at your local college (provided it is not given to you by some communist freak) and learn how markets and economies work -- then put that to good use and make your own small fortune while WORKING (instead of toiling for 10$ an hour hooked up to your union while working at about 10% of the pace you could be working at) to gain financial security so you willl quit bitching and be happy (as every post some of you leftists make illustrates your own envy and greed)
