Oh give me a break: despite all of the whining, the poorest person in this country has it better than a king had it century ago and vastly better than anybody living in the Third World.

You may not get the job you want but jobs are out there if you’re willing to work hard and honestly.

Freedom is the ability to succeed or fail - based on your own abilities and willingness to work at it.

Third World? If the UK were a state, its per capita GDP would rank near MS, dead last. Many other European countries with similar numbers.

In 1979 inflation was like 17% and the interest on a new car loan was 20%. Minimum wage was $2.25 an hour, or maybe a little higher.

Absolutely. It is why people from all over the world still want to come to the United States. We have our problems, but this stain of an author who thinks he sees accurately how things are can't see the forest through the trees.
