It is often refered to as 'the American dream'. See the prosperity that the free market gives, and weep. |
While I'm not going to sit here and argue about the fact that in general Americans have the highest living standards in the world (as I agree we/they do), I think that this comment is a little insensitive to all those who sit homeless on America's streets because they have no job, and are unable to secure any kind of social welfare. I'm certainly not saying that those who choose not to work deserve to be propped up by the rest of us who do work, but there are those suffering through unfortunate conditions through no fault of their own, and it is important to remember them as well.
