This is making the e-mail rounds, but it's so very relevant, I had to post it:
2) Only in America ... could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, 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.
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- 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate
that go to Hispanics!
8) Only in America could they have had the two people
most responsible 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.
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 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 the
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 (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes
(Nike).
2) Only in America ... could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, 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.
