haha..yeah, that was a stupid thing to say, no, i meant, the average working man gets heavily underpayed here, for example, doctors get payed a thousand dollars a month, an amount an ordinary handyman in america earns in a week or so....but then again, you pay 20$ for a pizza ( so i've heard ), we pay 4$, on the other hand, we get free medical insurance, something like in canada, one of the few perks of being an ex-commie country....
