It's a small price to pay for not living there.
It's a shit-hole.
I wouldn't live there for all the money in the world.

I find statements like this really bizarre.  Even if you've seen some dodgy American places, surely you're aware that the USA is bigger than the entirety of mainland Europe, and as such will have some nice bits as well as not so nice bits?  Unless you're claiming to have visited every single town in every single state and found nothing to recommend in any?

Thank you, that illustrates my point perfectly and echoes my experience of the toilet we call America.

It's a bit of a shit hole in terms of workers rights... even if parts of the countryside are breathtaking. 

I don't think that what he meant.  He wouldn't have to work if he had all the money in the world.
