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--

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
