South Africa is the only country that has gone from first to third world status. IMHO

[American Quilter]

Without property rights and the rule of law, no country can prosper.

Without prosperity, essentials like health care, education, and democracy can't exist.

Without health care, education, and democracy, luxuries like protection for the weak and powerless are impossible. Life becomes a brutal struggle for survival, with the weak and powerless dying first.

Anyone who thinks the US is a bad country should have to live in Africa, where they can see the results of replacing capitalism and freedom with socialism and oppression.
