Actualy its not. The ones who fail at it love complaining about it. The ones who thrive are thankful.

Funny how someone can come here from another country , struggle with the language and still start a buss. Many have lived here their whole lives and cant even hold down a job.

do you work for the republican party ?

your earlier post said that anyone can through hard work reach a comfortable level of living , with the massivley high cost of education and healthcare , low minimum wage and a peanuts level of wellfare , in america compared to western europe , australia etc , going from poor to solid middle class is a much greater uphill challenge in america , i would agree that american is the land of opportunity for those who want to do a mark zuckerberg but thats mega rich not comfortable

The best thing about America is that we are still a nation of laws and not men.

I think one of the best things about America is despite what the Sharptons of this country say anyone from any background that has the drive can succeed. This is not the cases in most countries in the world.
