If by "better" you mean "earn more money, reach higher social status, etc." (which many conversations with classmates have convinced me many people here do mean) then sure. If by "better" you mean, "happier, healthier, saner, more interesting" then hell no.

"As Americans, we are taught to overvalue democracy by a long shot, and we forget its drawbacks."

Patriots and nationalists tend to overvalue a lot of things which they associate strongly with their country, but if the point being made here is that democracy is not an ideal worthy of some reasonable amount of admiration in excess of that afforded other forms of government, then I disagree. Democratic government as implemented in the government of the United States is by no means perfect, but the central principles of democracy are sound. Every person who lives under a government should be given the right to participate in the decision-making process. The obvious drawback to democracy is that it is slow and often lacking in unified purpose, but I will gladly take a less efficient government over one in which power is held and exercised effectively but arbitrarily. "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." - Churchill

I've seen resumes of people who refer to a certificate or degree from the Extension school simply as a Harvard degree. Hopefully astute readers will recognize the difference.

Why? Am I obligated to send all my possessions to those who have less? How much money is too much for you?

I wanted to enjoy it, but the uncomfortable sensation of brain cells falling out of my skull was just too much.

It's hard to know when you start dating whether it will work out, or what things will be like.
