Not sure what you mean by this, so correct me if I am wrong.

I do agree that people make hay over very stupid superflous crap, such as their sports team losing or complaining about higher taxes when they own two mansions and a leer jet.

But when it comes to quality of life I think it is a horrible idea to compair the conditions of the poor in America to the conditions of the poor in Somolia.

When you start doing that it allows the top to make an an argument for entire economy race to the bottom.

Yea I live in a trailer and am dirt poor and I know I have it better than say someone in Tijauanna. But that is the same bullshit scam Romney tried to pull pointing out how much he admired the Chinese workers in the sweat shop he invested in.

Romney either by lying or ignorance tried to claim they wanted to be there, and he was right, they did, but not because they wanted to be slaves working 18 hour days 6 days a week for 2 dollars a day. Nor r thought that they could climb the corporate ladder, they wanted to be there because they were desperate. And did it ever occur to Romney of course the workers would say that becuase they didnt want to lose what little they had or end up in prison.
