This comes back to a real problem I have
The rest of the world in their short sighted vision want the USA to live down to their standards instead of trying to live up to the USA standards of living

Vick you hit on the number #1 reason why there is so much discord with the US in the world. Simple jealously. It is ashame, that lots of people in foreign lands are jealous and instead of working hard to be the land of plenty like the US, want to take it away so we can go down like them.
This is the liberal philosophy - bring everything down to lowest common denominator. That is why liberals want to tax the rich at huge rates, lower education standards in public schools, etc.. etc.... all they do is lower everyones standard of living rather then working hard to raise other peoples.
I read a long article about prsperity amoungst countries. Back when the US fought the war of Independence - the US was a poor 2nd world country. Yet within 120 years or so, we became a power house. Was this because of internalional aid? is this because countires gave us money/aid? Was there a world bank and other things like this to help us get a leg up?
As Terry Tate, the PAIN TRAIN would say " HELL NO!!" What allowed us to become a world power and grow from a third world poor country to first world is FREEDOM, LIBERTY, PROPERTY RIGHT, CONTRATUAL RIGHT that are enforced by fair LEGAL SYSTEM, free market economics, and of course the Gov't not interfering and taxing people to death and trying to control their lives!
So all you people who live in snd rate Nations - I suggest you hit the streets and try and get your gov't to stop being so socialist, and understsdn the above concepts.
OF course the problem is, the United States has forgotten its past, and its formula to success - at least the democratic party, and other liberal groups have and they work hard everyday for the US to become more like the rest of the world.... lowering OUR standards!
