I have to say that as a current (temporary) resident of Switzerland, I really look at the US and capitalism in a different light. The dollar truly is king---making money--and I do mean CREATING money or wealth without creating value is so amazingly prevalent. It's accepted and OK. whatever you have to do to get rich.
Unfortunately, it's actually what got us into this economic mess. Hopefully we've learned some good lessons. No society is perfect. But it would do our country good if every kid was forced to spend a few weeks in a European country like Switzerland during school---to see how other societies/cultures function, their values, their norms. It has certainly opened my eyes.
