Poor people don ' t pay taxes . They receive benefits . The bottom 50 percent or so pay no federal income tax . <| sep |> The lack of a public transportation system is killer and after living in London for the past few months I feel like this will be the hardest thing to adjust to when I come back home . The lack of public orientated spaces in Kuwait also sucks and , again , after living in London it ' s going to be a drag to adjust to Kuwait where public spaces are either quarantined for fear of political protest or commercialised . What I do love is the wide varieties of foodstuff , spices , coffees , teas and the dishes on offer . The fact that there is a cat parliament on almost every block in Kuwait . Our pigeons might be small and slim , but they ' re far more stylish . Also our bathrooms have nice bidets to clean the butt and all bathrooms have a similar style , spacious , and have bins inside the stalls . I ' m not worried that the stairs will buckle under me because they ' re made of wood . Things open up early in Kuwait , and close up late . Restaurants have to serve quality food because they can ' t depend on midnight drunk teenstwenties to sustain them . Also people are kinder and more willing to help out and the lack of homeless people on the street is good in terms of population health . Strangely enough the streets are cleaner back home .
