    The poorest inhabitant of the USA has rights, possibilities and duties that only the richest in any other country can only dream of.

    Sorry but this is the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever read.

    I grew up in an area of the US with poverty issues and now live in Europe. The lives of poor Americans are so much worse than where I live now (central europe) that it’s almost hard to fathom. Poverty in the US is systematically CRUSHING and can be near impossible to escape. It’s a soul-destroying existence…

    There are certainly places which are worse, but we just don’t have that here in Europe to nearly the same extent! I’m far from rich, but life is much nicer here…

        Grew up in the rural northwest US, been living the last decade-ish in Germany, Austria, UK.

        All of these places have rich and poor, but the poorest in the US have it sooooo much worse than those in the other countries I mentioned.

          OK, thanks for the reply. I don’t know why, but I expected more like south east of US… Also wondered whether you moved “behind iron curtain” or not.
