Since there hasn't been any controversy this week :)

1) Only in America
could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate
campaign fund raising event.


2)Only in America
could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans
when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the
federal workforce is black. 12% of the population is black.


3) Only in America
could we 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


4) Only in America
can we 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.


5) Only in America
would we 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 we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally
just become American citizens.


6) Only in America
could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the
country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."


7) Only in America
could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol,
but not to vote.


8) 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)


9) 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.


10) 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.



 
yeah #10 gets me. I, like many or most here pay taxes every year and my tax burden continues to rise but I see luxury cars and other things that should be way above their means at low income projects and trailer parks. I almost think it would be better financially to get fired and live on the govt teet. :banghead:
 
Couldn't agree more. This pretty much sums up 95% of the things that make me want to grab some people by the collar and give them a shake :cursin:
 
This thread makes me want to grab my weapons, dip a little Red Man, and start shootin' me some of 'dem dare libtards. :cheerleader:
