I heard a statistic once, it was very interesting. The average poor person in America has a better standard of living when compared to the average (not poor) person in Europe.
Most poor people in America have a car.
Most have cable TV.
Most have Air Conditioning and Heat.
Most have a cell phone.
Most have a bigger home than the average person in Europe.
I don't remember the rest, but there were about 2-4 other things in that list. I can't remember where I heard that though. And don't have time to look it up.
So I am going to have to say, Mafoo has a point. You have to see things from our side of the Atlantic to understand much like we would have to do with you.
