...2) Only in America , would 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 , would they have had 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, and BOTH men turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor
of higher taxes!
4) Only in America , would 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 they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become
American citizens!
6) Only in America , would the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by
the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists"!
7) Only in America , would you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy
alcohol, but NOT to vote! ( not true in state of ND)
8) Only in America , would 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 that is making tennis
shoes (Nike).
9) Only in America, would the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any
nation in recorded history, then 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 , would 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!
Deep Thoughts...
