People outside the US tend to not understand how unbelievably wealthy the country is. I’ve posted stats, you can check my history, but accounting for cost of living and taxes there are no states as poor as wealthy EU countries on average. If you ever find an Italian, talk to him about life in small towns. People are just tired of hearing about the USA because of our cultural domination, and because the media only plays bad news.

Have you ever been to the southern US? Specifically Mississippi or Alabama or even some parts of Georgia?
Or West Virginia?
Italy is not a typical "wealthy EU country".
