Its a question of european vs. american mentality in the end...

We in europe think that everybody deserves to live a decent life: in the end we have less poverty, smaller gap between rich and poor, freedom to chose between more than two parties and a fair chance of everybody to achieve something with free education and free healthcare

In the US you believe that everything has to be earned, although if you are born reach people already earned it for you and if you are born poor normaly you are ******. You have a bad and extremly expesive medical system, a culture dominated by lobbying and 2 parties, huge amount of homeless and a lot of people living in extreme debt. On the other side you have a lot of rich people too and lets not forget the 2nd amendment...that ranks as the develop country with the biggest murders and crime rate
