Culturally, a lot of the West is headed that way thanks to open border policies. Economically, that's probably true of some Western countries as well.
If America slips into Second World status, a lot of it will have to do with the rise in popularity of socialist policies and certain Latin American influences.
I grew up in a poor section of Houston.
I used my own initiative to rise above and out of it.
No one should depend on the government for their individual success.
Those that do will stay poor forever.
Individual initiative is what makes all the difference.
You can't blame the government for being poor. You can only blame yourself.

I will not argue those points one bit.
Changing them changes nothing, and keeping them changes nothing.
It is the individual industry of individual Americans that make this country great and why so many want to come here.
Politics and politicians come and go, but our own individual industry is why we are a great country.
That is also why some hate us. We will not play by their rules.
If you have a good idea, here is one of the few places you can give it a shot and see if it works.
...and if it does you become rich.
If it does not, then you can try again or give up.
but like i said before. I actually love the United States.
So many that bad-mouth her actually hate her, so they have an agenda to pursue.
