Our Gov't sure isn't perfect
The way I see it we still live in the greatest country in the world.

People still risk their lives to come here.

I think it has gotten harder to acquire wealth however, if you want it, really, really want you still have a real shot to acquire it, you I can still come from nothing and make your self something.

Too many Americans do not really appreciate the opportunities afforded to us...

It's just taken for granted.

They just expect it and have no idea of the impoverished conditions that other 3rd world countries live in and it's citizens.
