Subject: FW: EVEN CANADA LAUGHS .-sad, but true!..
Yep, we are a hard act to follow.
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 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
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 "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 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.
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.
