A target rich environment
No matter what anyone says about America at large, we are probably the hardest working of the non-third world countries today. Less benefits, longer hours, more self sufficency, lower taxes and even in this economic downturn most Americans aren't standing around with their hands out bitching. In France, kids who have never worked a day in their lives are leaving their high school to throw rocks at police and riot over the prospect of the retirement age being brought up to 62. That shit would never happen here. At least not yet. A few more years of European style socialism and this country is going to be like Greece and France and the rest of the failed sissyocracies.
