Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to
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 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 (former 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 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.
