American arrogance

I recently read an email saying something about the current President of the United States apologizing for American arrogance.  It contained photos of a lot of the cemeteries in Europe where American servicemen have been buried, mostly during World War II.  This would, to me, be a poor response to negate the apology.  Those were Americans that went to war to fight Nazism and Facism.  They lost their lives for a cause.  I don´t know what the people´s attitudes are like in Europe toward Americans.  Here we are accepted for who we are not for what we are.  There is a lot of interest in us because we come from a different culture.  
I would have to say that there are a lot of arrogant Americans that think that the American way of life is far superior to any other.  They should not confuse a state of living with an advancement of particulars.  There are many more items available to purchase in the United States, that does not necessarily make life better.  Sometimes it can make life more confusing.  How many times have you stood in a grocery store reading labels trying to determine which one is best? or healthiest? or tastier?  We don't have that problem here because variety is not something we are "blessed or cursed" with.  I have not said to anyone when I was making any comparisons to life in America compared to life here as it being better there.  I have said many times that life in the US is different.  Life in the US is a hard life.  You have to work hard everyday, for a minimum of 40 hours per week hoping that you make enough money to provide.  A person that retires in the US has a struggle in front of them.  They usually don't have sufficient income to pay for all the things they need. The needs of the elderly are far greater than others.  The income is limited but they are expected to pay as much, if not more for services.  If their house isn't paid for by the time they retire they still have to struggle with a house payment.  Reverse mortgage is a trap, and don't fall into it thinking it is Uncle Sam giving you a helping hand.  
For the most part, I have to say that the majority of Americans ARE arrogant.  They get angry when they make a call and it says if you want to hear your message in english, press one, yet for the most part when their ancestors came here many of them couldn't speak english.  The majority of the population in the US is probably hispanic, so WASP step aside and think of how you became a minority.  People migrated from other countries into the US like they have been doing for years, to improve their standard of living.  They are taking the jobs you don´t want because they are willing to do anything to make the money that is needed to improve their standard of living.  In the US you have many families on ¨welfare¨because they are either too lazy to work or because they have figured out the system and realize they don´t have to work to live.  
I worked for 48 years in the US so that I could have something in Social Security to live on when it came time for me to retire.  The government needs to stop dipping into that fund to pay for lazy welfare recipients.  Immigrants have figured out how to us the system.  
So if the President of the United States did, indeed, apologize for the arrogance of Americans it is only because Americans are too arrogant to realize that they need to stop presenting themselves as better than the other people of the world.  I bet before Rome collapsed they had the same attitude.  Wake up before it bites you on the ass.
