Americans want everything perfect, everyone taken care of, the environment perfect ..... FINE, but there is a cost involved in doing so. A cost that American consumers obviously don't want to pay, that's why everything is made in China ... duh.

DING DING!!! We have a winner!
Lets not forget what we define as succesful in this country. We consider someone poor if they can't buy an IPOD or the newest designer purse. People want to live above their means, drive fancy new cars, grab a $5 cup of coffee in the morning.
Our idea of success is much different from the rest of the world. Someone in another country would consider a nice home with a family a great lifestyle. We don't.
