You Americans are really heroic. you love your country even when it does terrible stuff like this to you. By and large, England seems to take better care of its poorer citizens.

Theres probably only been two years in the last thirty when I've had over 30 grand a year(thats about 23GBP...?) to live on. yet we've always managed somehow - even had on occasions a lifestyle our more affluent friends have envied.

I'm sorry for your tough experiences. I hope you have some politicians over there who get angry on your behalf. all we ever see of American politicians over here, is them telling us they are going to pounce on the unworthy scufflers and kick the shit out of them.
