As Sophie Tucker said, "Ive been rich and I've been poor, and believe me, honey, rich is better."\n\nThe best things in life are free, but for everything else you need money (or MasterCard).\n\nDuke, above, is wrong that people with less money are more likely to share. Who is more likely to give you a roll of toilet paper--someone who just bought one at the supermarket or the Soviet citizen who had to wait in line 6 hours to get one?\n\nI'll bet if Duke himself had more money he would be more likely to share. So what he says doesn't even apply to himself. Do as I say, not as I do.

Should what? move to a better country? Or what are you asking? If that is the case for sure go to a country where you get the privileges that come with being a good citizen.

To begin with, we don't have any common wealth "states" or "countries".  That would be England.  We do however have territories.  And yes, people in those territories do vote.

Every country is in debt. We are the richest country in the World.

"Rich" is a misleading term. If you mean which one ranks highest in terms of human development and attainable lifestyle, it looks like this:\n\n1. Scandinavia (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark)\n2. Australia and New Zealand\n3. Japan\n\nAnd I would like to live in all of them, but since language comes into the equation, and things like "will I get a visa" and "will I find a job", I would say Australia and New Zealand are probably most people's best bet.

It depends if you're a giver or a taker, if you have everything and give nothing in return like those nasty little rich bitches, then yes you're over privileged. I live in a bad area but the people are basically kind and willing to help their neighbours, I think we're the privileged ones.\n\nJust remember, you're going to reap what you sow.

Sudan, Mexico? i don't know, but it's probably not pretty. Actually check the currency exchange and see where the dollor is worth most at.

Well one positive is that the country makes money that it can use towards things that the government subsidizes, etc.  More tourists means more money for the country.  Conversely, the money (at least in most countries) tends to go to corrupt and greedy governments and the people of the country never see it.

Yes.\nThere is a place where there are a lot of them.

Yes. It can. Simple example is, you know how much money Oxfam collected for charity for Tsunami within a short span of time? Millions of dollars. \n\nKnowledge is the most expensive commodity in the world.  If you think Oil is the most expensive thing, think of knowledge to explore, find and exploit the oil resources. Isnt it the most valuable resource, the knowledge? Yes. The knowledge economy built through internet can help poor countries if the countries invest significant portion of the money towards Information Technology and internet.

i don't know how it is really, but if it's like france's, i think it's rather sophisticated.

It's a part of France and therefore the European Union, both of which provide a lot of money to Réunion. If you consider it as a part of France I guess you'd have to say its developed (since France is developed), but really, as an individual entity, its developing, and still depends on extensive subsididies from France.

People in wealthy countries are better educated.

Those privileges would be nice but I don't see it as a big deal. The prices there are not significantly lower than elsewhere to make it worth much. I agree with the above commenter that health care and education are much more important. I would like to see better health care options for veterans.

They may not be rich by American standards, but if they are rich by Guatemalan standards they can afford to hire body guards in Guatemala ... other people do it ... America and Canada really can't take in everybody who is either too rich, or too poor, or too this or too that ..
