[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2306213, member: 24302"] The thing is those European countries have much smaller populations than we do. Out of our 320 million population you could take much more people than their small populations who would fall under the criteria you posted. There are only 2 countries with larger populations than us and they are in much worse shape than we are. Everyone talks about China's middle class being larger than our entire population. What they don't say is what constitutes middle class in China is closer to our working class. They don't talk about the more than 500 million Chinese living in dire poverty. And the Chinese are polluting themselves to death too. Our environment is pristine in comparison. People can manipulate statistics but the U.S. is a long way from a developing nation. But there are definitely tiers of existence in this country and those on the lowest tiers struggle. Plenty of room for improvement. [/QUOTE]
