If you are comparing the US with everywhere else, you are correct. Our poor people have great quality of life compared to even middle class people in third/second world countries.Nah. It's great for nearly everyone. People in the United States are truly insulated from the misery that most experience in third world and second world countries.
It's truly comical at times.
I work at an FQHC. My patients have nice phones, the younger ones are wearing Jordan 1s, manicures, fake eyelashes, and all look like they get more then enough to eat. Sure they may not be rolling around in a cyber truck or BMW but their quality of life is reasonably good.
There are things that middle class Americans are worried that people in other developed nations do not even think of. These things are medical bills, paid family leave, college tuition for their kids etc...
But I would rather be in the top 5% in the US than most other countries.
I wonder why the wealth gap between the poor and the rich is getting wider and wider.
As I said before, these big spending laws tend to inflate hard asset price and prop up the stock market. We all know the stock market is a wealthy people game.
The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of stocks even with market participation at a record high
I don't like these big spending laws, but I am not complaining since the top 1% will leave me some breadcrumbs.
I had to send a 2k and 14k checks back to my state and the feds respectively after filling taxes. Hopefully, that won't be the case for the 2025 fiscal year. I will be MAGA like you if that happens.
