I find these types of listings to be very condescending of Americans. Like it is wrong for us to have enough to eat. I bless you with Love. By the Way that is our food budget.
It is a mis-conception that all Americans are RICH. When in fact most Americans are barely getting by. And this will soon be worse due to the midwest flooding.
The glee felt by those on this list concerning the misery of their fellow human beings in the USA is rather troubling to me.
I bless you with Love--

the pictures don't open here for me John, do you have a website or other info to be able to get this? Thanks, kristyne
Hi Fairy-
I agree that the "wealthy" American is a made for TV stereotype. I envision you as wealthy in knowledge and wisdom, wealthy in love and family, wealthy in health. I know we are all struggling now, me too, just hope this helps to see the bright side.
Love and best wishes for getting by for us all.
Wendy
I am sorry I don't have a website; perhaps if you send me an email, I could send this to you that way. I am at [email protected] .
bless you more,
