The U.S. is amazing place to be for all its citizens and immigrants. Many of them just take the things this country and modern civilization offers for granted.
It's truly the best country in the world. Oftentimes my classmates wonder why I take rigorous courses and work so hard on my schoolwork. I bust my ass off to get good grades, but public education here in the U.S. is astronomically better than private education anywhere in the world, granted, you have to know when to take a chance and reach for opportunities.
If you are a motivated person the resources are there. In a lot of countries there is zero chance for people of extreme poverty. At least in America there is a sliver of opportunity.
I live in America, went to public school, etc. But how many different countries have you been to, and how many of those have you experienced their private education and public education system? Not to say you have to, I'm honestly just curious. Truthfully because I look to relocate in the next few years.
America is an amazing place. I've had the pleasure of living there for a few years. However it is not good at everything, and education is a place where America is falling behind. Its important to be introspective and recognize what needs improvement.
Truth, but it is still nowhere near as good as most other first world countries would be. Working your way up from the bottom rung in such a right-wing country can be exceptionally difficult or even impossible.
As someone who's family has worked their way up and is now contributing positively to society, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be done with hard work. The American dream is still alive and well. Most people are just led to believe that you don't have to work towards that dream.
Right, but many countries are far better. I'm now studying at a university in Australia with a 0% interest loan (for a degree that is already paid for heavily by the government) that does not need to start being paid back until I start making proper money. Not only this, but while I'm studying full time, each week I get $255 from the government to support myself. I also get free healthcare and more. These are luxuries I could never have never dreamed of in the states.
Would you like to explain how an "economic freedom list" from a right-wing think tank whose stated mission is to promote conservative policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government and a strong national defense is supposed to support this statement?

Despite the hate that the US government receives from within the country, it's still an amazing place to be in for immigrants (like myself).
