And fuck the rest huh?
People who went bright enough or who didn't have the chance to get an education, and worked in low paid jobs all their life just to pay rent and provide for their families. No medical insurance and no retirement benefits for those poor buggers.
I guess you feel pretty smug that you were born in the right place at the right time and got the opportunity to do well.
I am sure those social benefits are --"just killin me" --,as you say tongue and cheek. But did you ever think that your prosperity might be at the expense of someone in a lower socio economic class who has worked just as hard as you?
Like I said in another post. That's the way Americans see it. I reckon the rest of the world sees it differently. If you guys want to shit in your nest then sit in, then that's up to you. You can deal with the social problems you create.
BTW, why arnt you back in the land of the free if its so good?
