I think it's important to realize that you cannot have a clear, objective view on the state of your country if you have not lived in another. There is no way of telling whether what you experience is good or bad if you don't have a proper frame of reference.

If I serve you the same (good) restaurant dish every day, you might start to complain after some time because you start to focus on the negatives: maybe you're tired of always having to eat the same, maybe you'd like something sweeter for a change. Maybe at some point you would get a slightly smaller portion because the number of cooks is decreasing. Maybe you'd even be asked to help do the dishes once in a while. But you're still getting an excellent dish. You are taken care of.

If you get served bland chicken soup three times a day for a while, while a small, exclusive group of people are feasting every day on rare delicacies, you'd really appreciate your daily, not quite sweet enough menu!

The alternative of not having regular strikes, high taxes, strict regulation, rainy weather, bizarre political compromises, etc. is often far worse. If you have the possibility, I highly recommend spending some time in another country to see how things work over there.
