Judy,
I am an American through and through. I have served my country overseas and cherish the very foundation our country was based on. With that being said..... Having seen many many other countries and reading numerous reports, and I'm not being coy, but I'm thinking you may have not. Statistics show American Labor costs almost double to produce in twice the time other labor forces across the world can do. I'm not being unamerican, and I don't hate our country. What I will not do, is blindly choose to think that we are somehow more efficient and harder working than 90% of the world, when in fact and statistic, we sadly fall behind. I too Judy am sick of the saying Americans are lazy, unfortunately until we prove otherwise this is our stigma.
