Well Big Jim,
You really don't understand the U.S very well. Most of the people aren't rich by any stretch of the imagination. But most do have more than enough to get by. And those that do have enough to get by provide it for themselves, not the government.

One more thing. We send tons of aid to less developed countries, many that spit in our face at the United Nations. Perhaps you read all the negative stories in the Newspapers that badmouth the U.S. Most of those half-wits never get out in the real world and find out what is really happening.

The U.S. didn't get to be the Richest Nation on the Planet by letting someone else do it. People, ordinary people went to work and made it a success.

Socialisim didn't work in the Soviet Union and it won't work here. When one person gets a weeks worth of groceries from the government someone else has to do the work to provide it. It doesn't just magically appear.

Obama was a mistake. But some people can't see the forest for the trees. For an example of government, (Socialisim), gone wrong just look at California. Broke. The rest of the country isn't far behind.

If someone didn't build the factories, (Capitialisim) the people wouldn't have a place to work and make a living and be sucessful. Someone has to do the dirty work. Socalists, (Liberals, Democrats) want to run the country but want the Republicians to pay for it.

Raise taxes on the rich, (Kill the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg). The Auto Unions did just that. They priced themselves out of business......
