Missed the point, bub, if you find the US so oppressive, you have the "choice" to look for a better place to live.  Or like many Americans, you dig in and work hard to make your life and the country better.  And I don't accept your assertion that "the majority says we don't have a choice".  I would propose that US citizens are one of the most mobile of any nation in human history...and therefore exercise their choice with few comparisons.  

Yep, I do call his act a tantrum and I don't view his little tantrum as a valid or effective means to making this country better.

Nope, never said that that those who work hard with determination should be thankful to others (but I am thankful to my family and all those who have helped me in many ways over the years).  But since you brought it up, I think we should be thankful that we live in a nation that allows those attributes to have the ability to flourish.
