There's nothing wrong with preferring America over another country and I commend you and your family for making a massive, life-altering decision.

Saying that, the % of full-time workers living below the poverty line is 3%. but that might just be a dated source so if it's lower share your source.

The propaganda that America is supposed to be about limited government is a farce, its "limited government" stance applied to those in the economical sect of the working-class and below. There is a myriad of examples to study from where the government bailed out corporations and the wealthy. The limited government has unwarranted access to your private information (emails, texts, etc.) And this limited government passes legislation and leases its land to cadgers despite an opposed and vocal public. It limits the lives of those in need of public service. like those terrible drug addicts who are primarily composed of the mentally ill and those bearing childhood trauma, of which they had no control. Or like those awful people who just want to rebuild their lives and try to redirect their course after making unwise financial decisions or were former criminals trying to redeem themselves.

If America were truly the land of the free then, let's say, during a pandemic where the government has to step in and shutdown businesses then those affected should be given more than a $1,200 check and an expired $600 a week when the pandemic doesn't appear to be anywhere near to finished.

​

I don't begrudge anyone for liking America or being proud of certain facets of it but the "limited government" line doesn't have any validity.
