Your a nice guy profiit...but..
Even what you say here has that pompous American attitude, you guys just dont see it do you... You really don't.

America has no more freedom than Australia does. Oh, except in the case of gun laws. Which, personally, isnt a form of freedom I'd take pride in. As for the land of opportunity, what makes Americans think Australia isnt? Access to our education system is far better than yours, as well as our government funded medical programs... so really, in essence, with better public health care and the ability for every Australian, rich or poor, to go to University (without the need for scholarship)... I think we actually provide better opportunities to our young people than the States does.
Lastly, you mention everyone wanting to go there.. Check international migration statistics... It might surprise you that plenty of Americans migrate from your country every year, not to mention the fact that America doesn't even have the highest national immigration intake in the World.

I just want to note also, that Im using Australia for reference simply because Ive lived here the last 13 years, not because I think its any better than any other country. In fact, sadly..I lack patriotism.
I see very little these days to be proud of, anywhere.
