I thought it was centuries of cultural superiority and greater work ethic as evidenced by yield.
I stand corrected. It was all 'luck'.
That , amongst other things , explains why one country prospers rather than another but it has zero influence on where any particular person is born. I realise that it was pure luck that I was conceived in Britain rather than , for example, sub Saharan Africa and for that I am grateful.
The fat moron however seems to think it was his God given right to be born in an afluent society, seems to think that he lives in a magical chosen land and that milk and honey should always flow.
The fact is that the USA is struggling because too many of its people have become complacent, they have spent far more than they earn and its now biting them in the arse.
The USA is not alone in this respect, the UK also has a horrendous level of personal debt but note that we are not flooding the forums with constant whinges about how terrible and unfair everything is. Blame the politicians all you like but the average American consumer has much to answer for also ,if your GDP had increased by as much as your waistlines the last 20 years you would all be laughing. Does pointing this out make me anti American, I think not, rather it makes me anti stupidity which seems to be the bedrock supporting fatboys frequent rants.
