Why do the people who train for years and/or do real work like research, building things and making things generally get paid less than the idiots who move money around for a living and who brought us all to the brink of ruin?
This is a blog about living in the USA as seen through the eyes of someone who was not born here. I hope that this blog will help people outside of the USA to understand their American cousins a little better as well as giving US citizens an opportunity to understand how foreigners perceive them. I'm making an open offer to others to contribute to this mission as long as everyone keeps it civilized and intelligent.

Expand it to the top 1% and they have more than everyone else put together. I wonder when the 99% are going to wake up to this?
