Our country is in deep you-know-what. It is so lopsided economically that it's pitiful. Our government doesn't care about anyone but the wealthy, banks, corps, etc. We literally don't count. I'm envious of other countries that have much better governments than we do, who have universal health care (although I know about the fact that sometimes you have to wait a long time for service that is deemed less important, like my friend's aunt's back surgery in Finland, she waited 2 years, but it was free), who are happier people, more equality, less gender and wage gap, free education, etc, like the Scandinavian countries. Denmark has been rated as the happiest country in the world. We have no paid maternity leave, I mean don't even get me started. We might have been a great country a long time ago, but not anymore. I don't care what side of the political spectrum a politician is on, none of them care about anything but wealth and their own personal agendas. When are more people going to wake up and smell the roses in this country? If I seem un-American to someone, then so be it, but our country is bottoming out fast.
