Knock offs and Why people hate Americans

Rightly or wrongly, Americans are vilified in many parts of the world. This is usually written off as simple jealousy but I have another perspective that should be considered. Take a look around at the local supermarket. Do we REALLT need 150 types of shampoo, or dog food, or toothbrushes? Of course not but we somehow thing that we're entitled to them.

people in other countries, especially those that make our clothes and personal items see what we buy. Jealous? Probably not and I be they aren't really unhappy that you have so much. What they do see however is that while we're buying the latest BratZ doll at inflated prices, they are almost starving. These people ask, and I think rightly so, why it's wrong for us to have so much when they have so little. They'd like to see us do without a little bit of the extras so they could live better lives. Does this seem to be unreasonable to anyone? Why can't we buy less so others might have more? Why do Americans spend more on dog food than most of African countries spend on health care. While Africans are burying their children due to diseases that we've wiped out in our country, they see us spending enough money on dog food to save their kids. And we ask why they hate Americans? The reason may not be because we have so much but because we care so little.
