Yes. I DO live in Asia. People in Singapore enjoy a higher standard of living (average) than those in USA. Please be a little more careful with your generalizations. The argument that poverty excuses theft is a poor one. If you want to live in a Country where the State provides you with all your needs I believe there are still a few places left. Of course you need to bear in mind that the State also determines what you need.
