What good is it if the government don't take care of their people . China is rich country but the majority of the Chinese people earn less than $3 dollars per day , no work comp, no benefit and pension and what so ever unlike Singapore government which take good care of their people. To compare to the United States with the union pay and the minimum wage still better than China , medicare , and welfare program ...etc even the United State is not a perfect country and most of the people around the world hate the America and complain about the crime and gang in the United States and they still love to live in the US because of the freedom and the opportunity for every one to be successful. If the United States government do the same to the American people like China do to the Chinese workers , the United States will never in Debt and most of the factories will never be relocated in Mexico and China or the third world countries with cheaper labour. Perhaps the United States would still be the richest country in the world. There are 12 million illegal alien in the US and the US government could not turn their back on those people kids school and medical care and welfare and food stamp program for their kids. The United States is the way it is because the people are the government and the people run the country not by only one group of people . China and India are rich countries but the most of the people will not want to live there as much as Cuba and north Korea.

I can see your point. The USA is run by two political party system, not by the people. Everywhere you turn, most American people now do not like both parties. Politicians suppose to help and support the citizens, not for their own greed. This is what you see right now. Capitalism to the core.
