I think most Americans are victims of materialism, capitalism, guns and people who wants something for nothing. Americans don't want comprehensive health care or 'socialist' health care because they don't want to pay for it, but it will cost us more in the long run. We are spoonfed that free trade is good, because we can get cheap goods. In the long run, middle class job gets shipped overseas in order to sustain that. Whenever I watch the news the news is depressing, whether it is another health scare, murder, child rapist, etc... It is so easy to get credit and many people are slaves of the credit card companies. The fear of another terrorist attack. Social security won't be there for us when I get old.

It is just the lack of safety net and whether the government is going to take care of me when I retire that scares me after giving uncle sam more than 1/3 of my money. Personally, I don't know if I want to live in the US when I retire...
