A Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10
This is what other countries think of us; in this case, Canada.
TOP-10 "Only In America " Observations
10) Only in America...**could politicians talk about the greed of the
rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
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 18% of the federal workforce is black
while only 12% of the population is black.
8) 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.
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.
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.
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."
4) Only in America...**could you need to present a driver's license to
cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
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 (
MarathonOil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes
(Nike).
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 one........
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.
