Most of today's Americans would disagree with you. They expect the government to fix that for them.

But you explained in your article why things are getting worse in America. Jimmy Carter lost because of the ways he wanted to fix our problems. Ronald Reagan knew how to fix our problems. For him, it was let us go and do it. Not a problem at all.

As an immigrant from Europe, I agree with you that chocolate and beer are better there. But I can buy them here. Also, you can find good ones made in America, but those are not the ones most Americans buy; hence, they are not sold everywhere.

As I might mention in my other comments, most of my writing revolves around the same issues; if anyone is interested.

PS. Congratualtions on a good text.
