Only in America
1) Only in America, could politicians talk about the greed
of the rich, at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
2) Only in America, could people claim that the government
still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a
black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black. (12%
of the population is black.)
3) Only in America, could we have had the two people most
responsible and accountable for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the
Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means
Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America, can we have terrorists kill people in
the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims
might be harmed by backlash.
5) Only in America, would we make people who want to legally
become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege, while we discuss letting anyone who
sneaks into the country illegally become American citizens.
6) Only in America, could the people who believe in
balancing the budget and honoring / following the country's Constitution be
thought of as "extremists."
7) Only in America, will you need to present a driver's
license or other valid I.D. to cash a check or buy alcohol, get on an airplane;
but not to vote.
8) Only in America, could the government collect more tax
dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, yet still spend in
excess of a trillion dollars more than it takes in per year. Spending $7 million dollars PER MINUTE, and complain
that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
10) Only in America, could the people who pay 86% of all
income taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people
who don't pay any federal income taxes at all.
