Our friends to the north of us, our Canadian neighbors, seem to have a better 'grasp' at how much we Americans have lost our way, than we do.

 

Below is

Canada's

'

Top Ten

'

List

of America's Stupidity.

Of course we look like idiots …we are…

 

*********************************************************************************************************

 

10) Only in America ... could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

9) Only in America ... could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black

,

while only 14% of the population is black.  40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans

, which is

3X the rate that go to whites,

and

5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

8) Only in America ... could they have the two people most responsible for 

their

tax code, Timothy

Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department)

,

and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH

who

turn out to be tax cheats

,

 

and they

are in favor of higher taxes.

7) Only in America ... can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

6) Only in America ... would they 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 they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.

5) Only in America ... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's

founding

Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

4) Only in America ... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

3) Only in America ... could people demand

that

their government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up, when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (

such as

Marathon Oil) is less than half

that

of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

2) Only in America ... could the government collect more tax dollars from 

its citizens and residents

than any nation in recorded history,

and yet

still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7

MILLION

PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

1) Only in America ... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.
