They have better standards of living day-to-day, though the medical care is far worse than here.
Oh please! In all these countries their people make less money than us and everything is much more expensive then here, they simply cannot buy and consume as much as we do, they are not anywhere near to our great standards of living. We simply have the best standards of living in the world based on income and purchasing parity.
Go to any of these countries and try to buy clothes, eat in restaurants, buy a car, buy a house, fill your car with gas, purchase a computer, or simply order a Pizza and you will know that their people simply do not have even half of our standards of living.
