CyberSEO using the ol' 'moral equivalence' canard as always - where he presents unflattering examples of American society, of which there are many, from which he concludes Russia and the United States are equally bad/good - which is a logic fallacy.

There are Russians who enjoy a better quality of life than some Americans, but there are far more Americans that enjoy a better quality of life than Russians. You don't see Americans leaving to emigrate to Russia, meanwhile millions of Russians have left Russia to make new lives in the United States.

Capitalism by its nature has winners and losers, there is a large underclass in the US, larger than in more socialistic countries. The US has done almost everything it can do to give a helping hand up to the black community - it just doesn't work, you could give every black person in America a gift/reparations of $100,000, come back in 10 years to see how it worked out for them, maybe 10% would have used the windfall to better their futures, 90% would be in the same state they were in before falling into money.
