Why do Americans always complain about jobs and their government?

thankfully i'm an "ethnic American" - Polish heritage to be exact and sadly in some respects you are correct. the only problem with the small businesses - the government has made it very difficult to have these businesses. also, too many people don't frequent them so they can not afford to stay open. thankfully in our town we have real butchers, bakers and even small grocery stores. they are little higher priced then the wal-marts but..... the customer service and everything is so worth while. it's truly taking care of your own!
