What? I wasn't aware that all people of the west were in massive debt flaunting their possessions.
If you're insinuating something about people who live in the United States; keep this in mind.......
In countries like Europe, over 70% of wealth is the product of birth or inheritance. In America, every city has thousands of immigrants who came to the United States with nothing and now run thriving businesses.
80% of American millionaires are entirely self-made. I don't know about you, but I'm proud to live in a country that supports a free market.
I know that's off-topic, LOL, but I constantly hear people talk about Americans having a poor attitude, yet they widely support and profit off by-products of our capitalist system. All the biggest online companies were created right here; google, yahoo, paypal, ebay, craigslist, facebook, etc, etc.
