But you have dismissed the USA as only making BS. That is too wide a generalisation - the same way as saying that all Australians wear hats with corks, drink lager and call everybody Bruce or Sheila misrepresents your country.

As a foreigner in the USA I can say that, for the main part, these are a good and generous bunch of people with an unbelievable work ethic. Unfortunately the powers that be have allowed big business to take full advantage of this and I certainly would not want to work here or be without health insurance.

Don't blame the whole notion for the actions of a few.
