Americans are the most generous people in the world,

until it comes to their own back yard, where the "rebs" ( I refuse to

bloody murder when it is suggested perhaps a tiny morsel of their
(tax) money might go towardss some "socialist" program that puts some
of it into the hands of those who have not "worked for it".
In that way, many Americans are among the "stingiest" people in the
world. Like that ancient queen of france - "they canot afford bread?
- Them let them eat cake".

Take a look for yourself. Our poor people have more amenities than
the poor in other countries.

Air conditioning
Home heating
Smart phones
Game consoles
Expensive cars like Cadillacs
Plasma 50" televisions
Internet access
Cable TV
Computers
Clean water in the home
Indoor Toilets
Food stamps
Government housing
Electricity
Light bulbs
Dining ware like plates, spoons, forks & knives.
Shelter to live in
Locks on their doors

What did I miss?
