Only In America

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.
