This is Canadas Top Ten List of Americas Stupid............... Of course we look like idiots …. because we are.

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

Number 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.
Number 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.
Number 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 (probably should be number one).
Number 5
Only in America… could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the countrys Constitution be thought of as EXTREMISTS.
Number 4
Only in America …could you need to present a drivers license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
Number 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).
Number 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 doesnt have nearly enough money.
And Number 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 dont pay any income taxes at all.
All's I can say is WEAK!!!!!!! If I had to debate everyone of those points to a unbiased jury, "I would feel I would be taking CANDY AWAY FROM BABY'S"!!!!!!!!

I said to an unbiased jury, you guy's are totally biased!!!!! But let me jump to the 1. statement bashing us Americans. Just to so you how weak the list really is. Rich people pay 86% of all tax's and their accused of not paying their fair share. In the United States we have a progressive Federal Income tax based on the ability to pay. In other words, if you barely have enough money to feed your family and pay your bills, you may not have to pay hardly any Federal Income tax's at all. Why????? Federal tax's are based on the ability to pay. If you don't have enough money to live on, you don't have to pay Federal Income tax's!!!! (Did you ever hear that old expression you can't get blood from a turnip) that's what they meant!!!!

Now if you have more money then you could spend in 5 life times. (You obvious have the ability to pay Federal income tax's)
Remember it's a progressive tax. So you should be paying most of the Federal Income tax's because you ended up with all the money. Now these poor SOB'S, who must have got picked on all through school thinks, "that's not fair!!!!" Everyone should have to pay an equal percentage of what ever they make. (That's called a FLAT TAX) Forget that someone is near starving and the other person has more money then God!!!!! They think that's a Fairer solution. Once again, "I'm talking to a biased audience," so I don't expect any one here to agree with me !!!!! However, if I was talking to an unbiased audience say in Canada, I don't think I would have any problem convincing them I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!

As an expert witness one is paid for his "Opinion" and when one backs up that "Opinion" with facts from a reputable published reference it becomes bulletproof in court. 17 years doing my thing as an expert witness I never lost a case or failed to get a favorable judgement for my client trumps every witness that came unprepared against me. Word to the wise don't let your Alligator mouth overload your Hummingbird rectum as you seem do do more often than not. Shooting from the hip or doing the shuck and jive dance is not the way you win at anything in life.

2 STATES IN MIDDLE AMERICA...



Illinois & Oklahoma:

I thought these two states, made for an interesting contrast. The first part about Illinois and the second part is about Oklahoma!

PART 1 - Illinois

"A State with No Republicans"!

some interesting data on the 'state' of, the State of Illinois... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. Their average pay is $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?

Body count:
In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Here's the Chicago chain of command:

President: Barack Hussein Obama.
Senator: D ick Durbin.
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. .
Governor: Pat Quinn.
House leader: Mike Madigan.
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike).
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel.
The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. .
Of course, they're all blaming each other. .
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Let us get ALL the facts out while we are at it:

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?

George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.

He was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is, by the way, also in prison.

And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned and, that's right, he and his wife are both in prison.
The Land of Lincoln, where our Governors and Representatives make our license plates. What?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go bankrupt before the country does.

"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

Don't forget Detroit, another great example of a Democratic empire.

With all the bad news, there is hope, so let's go to:

PART 2- Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA- may soon have plenty of new residents!

THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, AND TRUE... PLEASE READ IT!

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election... While everyone is focusing on Arizona’s new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!

An update from Oklahoma:

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values... HB 1330

Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.

Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB1102.

Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, Oklahoma passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining, Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabam, Georgia, Carolinas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once
again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it- - But...

Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers' license exams will be printed in English and only English and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either.

Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
