How many have ever been to the Third World nations; seen true poverty?

Question

see the truth behind dictatorship?

How many here take life in America for granted?

How many have truly worn the military uniform to defend this country our founding fathers started for us?

If you have been to those Third World countries and see the above; who will you truly vote for as our next President?

Answer 1

I have done both and I have also been to some first world countries. I have seen plenty of abject poverty in central America that turns the stomach and challenges the notion of justice. But I also have lived in NY City, Washington DC, Baltimore MD, New Orleans LA, Hawaii, Tampa St Pete and travelled to S.F., Seattle, Denver, L.A., The Twin Cities, The Tri Cities, Nashville, Memphis, All of the New England States and just about everywhere else in this rapidly desending second world country and let me tell you brother I have seen more abject poverty in the streets here then you seem to recognize. I can at least justify that the countries in Central/South America have not experienced the same economic prosperiety for a number of socio-political reasons and therefore have to allow their people to suffer. But this country whose economic growth has known unbriddled bounds has no such excuse to fall back on. Countries in the Nordic have some of the highest stadards of living with minimum wage at $20 + national health care and paid college, the people there cannot imagine the idea that a citizen in their country could go bankrupt due to illness yet here it happens at the rate of 2.2million American per annum and many of them have been bled by health insurance companies paying premiums paycheck after paycheck to be denied coverage legally sticking them with the bill. Ever think about leaving this so called free country and you will find that you live in the only country in the world which will tax you during your leave and to all of you 'Merica love it or leave its, if you do so the Gov will help themselves to 44% of you worldwide holdings under the "Heros Act". America is a great place for the wealthy and those who don't educate themselves to much.
