Canadian's Version of David Letterman's
Top 10. This is Canada 's
Top Ten List of America 's Stupidity. Of course we look like idiots …
because we are !!!
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 picture ID 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 so called “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
