The way I interpret what you're saying is that Americans have it better than the citizens of many other countries, and they should basically suck it up. It's true that Americans have it better than many others out there, but in my view, your thinking is backwards. Americans shouldn't stop making demands because other people have it worse. People everywhere should be striving for a higher standard of governance, not a worse one. It's not some kind of race or competition.
