IS AMERICA REALLY THIS STUPID?

This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity

      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 country's Constitution be thought of as   EXTREMIST’S.

      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  you 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.
