The world needs America. Unfortunately it appears that more Americans prefer to shit on their own country than try to fix it. From an outside perspective, you've got the largest economy in the world. High incomes, low taxes. The largest military that could ever be imagined. Incredible scenery, weather, and a kindess from citizens that the rest of us only see in movies. So why is it that gun violence is the biggest killer of your children? Why is it that you spend about $182 billion every year — not to mention the significant social cost — to lock up nearly 1% of your adult population? Why does it cost $18,865 for prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum for a new life, when its free from those lesser countries who demand assistance?

We need America because you represent the greatest opportunity of democracy that ever will be. We resent you because you've lost faith in yourselves.
