Canadian's Version of David Letterman's
Top 10… Just makes you wanna shake your head in disbelief.
This is Canada 's Top Ten List of America 's Stupidity.
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 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 country's Constitution be thought of as
"extremists."
Number 4) Only in America ...could you need to present a driver's 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 doesn't 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 don't pay any income taxes at all.
DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST.
DO YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME?
