Okay, I am an American. I like living in this country and consider it to be one of the better places in the world to live.
However, the problem with the post which started this thread is that it is full of half-truths and misinformation.
For example, the claim that America helps other countries all the time and is never helped in return.
Hell, the US owes its VERY EXISTENCE as a country to foreign aid. The US would never even have succeeded in becoming an independent country except for massive aid from France in the Revolutionary war.
Sorry, but the desire to pat oneself on the back is no excuse for historical falsehood.
