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.
09 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!
08 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.
07 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.
06 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)
05 Only in America ... Could the people who
believe in balancing the budget
and sticking by the country's
Constitution be called
EXTREMISTS.
04 Only in America ... Could you need to present a
driver's license to cash a
check or buy alcohol, but not
to vote.
03 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).
02 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.
01 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.
