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.
# 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 the 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.
