Twelve Reasons to Love the U.S.A., V.

“5.  We enjoy one of the world’s highest standards of living.  Americans live longer, have better health, and enjoy safer and more comfortable lives than the vast majority of the world’s people.  Ours is one of the most prosperous nations in history.  U.S. companies provide some of the best jobs in the world.  They have also built countless hospitals, libraries, and parks; created great universities; filled museums with works of art; found cures for diseases; and improved human life in countless ways.” — William J. Bennett, The American Patriot’s Almanac, p.34.
