Think of what the money spent in just one year in Iraq could do for these people.

I think countries like Sweden, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Belgium have a higher standard of living for the majority of people who live there.

But the USA has more millionaires and billionaires.

True america is in the top highest standards of living, yet it has a high poverty rate, try thinking how bad others countries in the world are.

Helping those in need should be a volunteering choice and not a power of government to mandate such.

A government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything from you.

Let's get off this insane socialist train; it won't work.

I have an idea: let's stop taxing income. That would free up some money for charitable donations.

In Hollywood movies and PC games....maybe

Something I learned is the government fudges the numbers. If you are living just under the poverty level and get a cost of living adjustment (to keep up with inflation) it doesn't raise you above the poverty level (even at 99%-it only helps deal with inflation and keeps you at 99%). But the government can and does write people off because they do not raise poverty level by the same amount as the cost of living each year. They need to tie the 2 together.

America is still in the top ten countires with highest standard of living
