REPORT: America Among Least Happy Countries
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/11/19/America-Among-Least-Happy-Countries

If you are looking for the "happiest" country on earth, don't look to the USA. At least that is the message from the Happy Planet Index, which rates 151 countries.

The Happy Planet Index (HPI) finds that the happiest country is Costa Rica, followed by Vietnam, Columbia, and Belize. The index rates the USA as the 105th happiest.

According to the website, "The HPI measures what matters: the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, sustainable lives for the people that live in them. The Index uses global data on life expectancy, experienced well-being and Ecological Footprint to calculate this."

I know Happy Planet Index is flawed, but I can see why America is not happy with a ruined economy and highly polarized environment. Leftists are the unhappiest people as they always rage at the world every second of their life.

Living in a mud hut , burning cow dung ranks higher than central heating/AC , indoor plumbing and plenty of food.
