    naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

    There literally isn’t. Whine about the percentages all you want. You still have a higher standard of living than literally anywhere else in the world.

        Just because you don’t know about them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
