I was high middle class when I lived there with no dependents and it was wonderful. Employer health insurance, pay your co-pays, and you are in and out and receive excellent care.
But I also witnessed what it could be like with no insurance little dependents running around.
I am sure being a white male did not hinder me.

It was meant to be a joke. Swing and a miss on my part. Yes I moved to the US for the business opportunity (and chasing a girl). There is tremendous opportunity if you have a strong work ethic and were fortunate enough to have the benefits of a good education. I don't want to compare countries and economic systems. If your skills are transferable you can enjoy a happy life in many US cities.
I also don't think people should get too caught up in red state/blue state. I live in a very red state but the Dems carry the major metropolitan cities. It is more rural vs. urban. Houston had an openly gay mayor up to recently.
