US is heaven if you are a high-income earner. It is hell if you are poor or bottom earner.

So your income decides whether usa is great or not.

I think there’s a lot worse places to be if you’re poor

I think American foreign and military policy is the reason other poor countries are worse off.

Easy to blame problems on things you can’t control

I was a lobbyist on left leaning issues and now work in sales for a gov contractor so I maybe can't control it but can influence potentially.

Fixed your response… “I’ve worked on some left leaning think tanks and I have definitive knowledge of the subject with advanced degrees in music and English literature. You peasants are clueless, go get an education”

If being poor in the US is hell, you haven't seen a hard life. Maybe in your mind a few countries take care of the poor, but the fact is the vast majority of the world being poor means you are being sold into slavery, being raped, abused and/or murdered and nobody bats an eye.
