TOP-10 "Only In America" Observations - by a Canadian:
1)
Only in America, could politicians talk about the greed of the
rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
2)
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 18% of the federal
workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.
3)
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.
4)
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.
5)
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 we discuss
letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just
'magically' become American citizens.
6)
Only in America, could the people who believe in balancing the
budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as
"extremists."
7) Only in America, could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8)
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).
9)
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 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.
These top 10 observations may be worth sharing.
