There are the poor, and there are the poor: Replying to: Yet the poor in America live better than a lot of the Chinese middle class. -- CrackaAssQuacka Post ReplyForum -Corsair- 10/18/2015, 14:43:00 Author Profile | Edit I've been to Indian (feather not dot) reservations where running water and sewers are rarities. The quality of primary and secondary level education is also worse even in comparatively wealthier areas of the US, resulting in high school graduates who can barely read or do arithmetic. I bet the average Chinese (or Indian) street hawker has better math skills than the average American college student (math majors excepted of course). If the US can't carry out basic education, then how can America maintain her current edge against poorer countries? Recommend | Alert | 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 Where am IGo Up Go TopPost ReplyBack
