Most Americans can’t afford to visit those places because of Sanders-like taxes! I’d love to visit India and China! Brazil, not so much.

I agree, but you don't have to go there physically. You can go on YouTube; there are countless videos about India and Brazil, that show ordinary life there. China not so much, because you can get in trouble if you just go around shooting video.

I've watched many videos about Brazil. There are some that are made by young people who are just visiting there, or spending a school year there, that are very interesting.

The India videos are a real eye-opener.

I saw one where they show a skyscraper — maybe 25 stories high &mdash that's owned by a software billionaire in Mumbai. It's his private residence. It's just for his family. It has several swimming pools on different floors, but is surrounded by slums.

It includes a garage for dozens of luxury cars.

Sorry, forgot a semicolon in one paragraph:

I should have proofread better.
