Add this Why to you list.
If we are so bad, Why do they all want to come live here?

I don't see Americans as lazy and greedy as a majority. I see them as a proud and selfless group in the fact we do all the things you listed.

And we are not hated by the majority of the world either. A lot of those protest you see are staged for cameras to be broadcast worldwide, because the media and tabloid mentality eats it up like candy. A group of 100 filmed at street level looks like a huge demostration, in reality it's a small staged rally.
