Sorry.....

I sped read to here.."Aside from the big government programs, there is little available in the US to help those in need. Again, Americans make a big show of their philanthropy, but, compared to other developed countries, they are in fact quite stingy when it comes to helping those in need.

And quit...because I think that is a total lie.

Maybe I missed some of the authors good points...but IF he can't get that right...Why should I read more closely?

It IS a total lie. Americans are by far the most generous of any first world people. Idiots like this author only measure “philanthropy” according to the amount of government aid paid out through confiscatory taxes. They completely ignore contributions and donations made privately.

Because there is a different experience in America for different people. A lot of people newer to the US are totally unaware and disconnected to American life beyond liberalism's post Christian-American humanist multicultural invention.

But one true observation he makes is that we are a society that depends upon being protected from each other by a huge police force and political correctness. He does not know that most Americans are something totally different than the liberal re-education invention.

Gangs and crime are a reality in the US in proportion to the success of liberals to cleanse the Christian American secular culture from certain targeted groups. We have a huge number of immigrants like the author, who know nothing of America from experience and roots and only know what liberals tell them. That is going to be a problem in an economic collapse.

Strong American families have kept and raised their children in their own culture but everyone is competing with liberalism's re-education of their children. This shows in the younger generation's mistaken sense of entitlement and unrealistic self esteem.
