Everything you just said is about money. By that logic you should move to Cambodia.. You could live like a king!!
There's more to life than money.
Have you seen all the houses riddled with bullet holes here? Me neither.
Have you seen the ghetto here? Me neither.
Have you seen the family of 4 that weighs over 2000lbs combined here? Newp.
You say it's so much better economically there, but to see how many US citizens live you'd wonder why they aren't getting ahead... Yet every other car here is a beamer benz or better... Even after all those taxes.
Things cost more because we can afford them. You can keep your $0.99 jack in the box tacos.
I love the USA, but I wouldn't want to live there unless I was very well off. From what I've seen in my extensive travels throughout the USA it's much better to be an average person here than it is there. There are a lot of things I do envy, but also many that I would miss if I didn't live here anymore.
Besides, this whole "bigger is better" and "compare ourselves to everything" is very American. We're quite happy to not to be you. Really. Honestly. It's okay to have 2 countries after all.
