However, when you travel around the world and see how many/most of the population lives it becomes obvious that US citizens on the bottom of the ladder live significantly better than most everyone on earth.

I am sure I will regret typing this, but even western Europe. The majority of people live stacked up in tiny apartments. They drive tiny cars on tiny roads. They eat good..
But it takes large amounts of cash there to live in homes the middle class here have.
they dont know how to help their country, are afraid to, or are aren't allowed to. The success of the US comes from the mindset. we're not special in any way. history shaped us into people who learned their lesson from the british empire. and its passed on, but its seen as ignorance by people living in projects in western europe for some reason. people in western europe dont have that kind of motivation but are totally capable of it

or eastern europe
