Agreed.
For all that is wrong with the US government, remember the condition of people under the great majority of the world: poverty and fear, where the political privilege of a few shatters the economy and forces the vast majority into poverty, for example India, Burma, Nigeria, Vietnam, Pakistan, Cuba Indonesia, and all the rest.
You forgot to list the US.
If we were subject to the power of those governments that compose the majority of the world's governments, we would be as poor, unfree, and frightened as the subjects of those governments.
