It is very true. This is why you see people working 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet yet those ends never meet and they barely just get by. Everywhere you turn you are offered credit with what you think are amazing incentives and benefits but you do not realize it is all a scam.

Even with housing you get credit so easily and hence a lifetime of debt as you try to meet up with mortgage payments and also payments on your car you got on credit among other things.

This is why suicide rates are very high there despite the so called comfort levels. This is because frustration levels, stress levels and depression are also high due to the way the system runs.


But, what about the unemployment benefits the citizenry receive fro the Centre.

There are 44 countries which make up Europe as we know it. What country in Europe are you referring to because some countries in Europe have similar terrible issues despite being in Europe. Never assume it is all rosy
No, I'm talking about the 28-member EU states. Not the former Soviet Satellite States eg Albanian, Ukraine, Slovenia etc.

But, the US tax system has changed drastically: The rich are taxed higher. I can't say so for Canada! I heard that Canada is a very country to live in.

the top five countries with the highest all-in average personal income tax include Belgium (39.8%), Germany (39.7%), Denmark (36.1%), Austria (34.9%), and Hungary (34.5%). USA comes in at 25.6% in this category of average earning singles with no children and this places her at 16th highest tax rate.

This goes against your notion of the rich being taxed higher because that is not how the system works right now. USA is country where once you get married you start being taxed as a married couple based on your joint wages.

It is a draconian empire.

What I meant by " the rich being taxed higher," was a progressive system of tax: Where you PAY AS YOU EARN (PAYE).

Most states in USA pay unemployment benefit of between $400 to $500 weekly to the unemployed agreed. However when you place this side by side with the average rent cost in the USA which is about $1500 a month, you then realize that at the end of every month you only have about $400 to $500 dollars to live on and pay bills from in a society that is very expensive.

America is like Lagos where you have the highest number of super wealthy people,

Highest number of middle class and a high number of poor people.

If you are into online business you will know Americans are the darling because they pay highest for digital services and buy more than any country in the world.

If you have a digital marketing agency America is your target.
If you are into drop shipping and ecommerce business America is your target.
If you are into freelancing American clients are your target.
Even Yahoo boys na America be their target.
21 trillion dollar economy is too big for a smart dude to ignore.

The US is in practice a socialist republic.
They spend billions of dollars on subsidized housing and food stamps for low income people and people with disability.
Had it been one of our African countries, people in power would pile those billions of dollars in their own bank accounts and buy mansions for their
girlfriends in New York, Paris, Dubai , Switzerland etc when people are starving.
See a rich country like Cote d'Ivoire, people don't even know there are countries in the world where someone can be on welfare. More than 75% of the people are poor.
In the meantime government officials are billionaire in Euros. A two bedroom can easily be $ 4000
US in Abidjan.
Go to Juba , South Sudan , the place is hell expensive . Same ring tone in Ndjamena, Chad
and Libreville Gabon.

You are so right sigh....just only yesterday Black Friday- they have already spent over 5billion dollars in both online and brick shopping and over 29billion by the end of 2019.
I drove by Macy's, target and Walmart today and they are still shopping!
I really don't know what America should do about the poverty around us because if anything, they are the world's number one in giving back to the communities.

It's just amazing.

I think Nigerians are more vocal, that's all. They dont endure in silence and fortitude the way other countries do.

There's also that thing where Nigerians seem to have opportunities available to them when they go abroad, often we dont realise this might be at the expense of the local populace.
