Pros and Cons of Living in the USA

PROs:

  • Virtually unprecedented freedom of speech and movement
  • Comparatively high standard and low cost of living
  • Low taxation
  • Lots of big cities, lots of wide-open spaces
  • Unique melting-pot culture

CONs:

  • Not a fully functioning democracy; freedom of speech somewhat negated by corporatocratic media
  • High living standard results largely from cruel and ruthless exploitation of less-developed countries
  • Astronomical percentage of taxation goes to defense budget; substandard social spending (healthcare, etc.)
  • Heavy pollution and ineffectual land management policies
  • Cultural diversity undermined by Anglo-American patriotic rhetoric and culture of hero worship/consumerism
