Just another problem with 'Murica

[CapnAwesome]

The poor in America are better off than most people in the world. Most people own cars in this country, most people in the world do not. I know that people will probably say something stupid about Somalia in response but honestly, it's not a comparison with some fringe countries, it's a comparison to how things are in most of the world. The world.

The standard of living in America is very good, some countries are better but those countries have other problems as well and honestly I'd much rather live here. It's ironic that you decry the culture of money here (I agree that it's a problem) and then go on to say that 'poor' people in America would be better off if they just had a little more money. That's very idea that prevents people from being happy. People are happier in Latin America then in the US, and yet they have less money. But they have better senses of community and family and fun and sex and dancing then we have. Those are the real values that make people happy, not more money.
