There are some here on FR who apparently believe that Americans have a God given right to have a higher standard of living than any other people on the face of the earth.

They could not be more wrong.

We have a God given right to our freedoms only.

Our standard of living is entirely dependent upon how willing we are to outwork and outcompete others.

Philosophically, at least. In practice, our "right to our freedoms" is rapidly going the way of the "right to life," which is down the drain, traded for the junk goods of ease and license.

(If someone else had typed that, I would reply, "Thank you, Debbie Downer!")
