DAVE LETTERMAN'S TOP TEN

This is so sad, from a proud, strong country to a laughing stock of the world. I don't find it funny at all but true!

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 Obama 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 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.

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 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.

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.
 
On the surface and at first glance, all of this seems true and accurate. There could be a bit of excess in a few of the numbers but all of the points are legit. I wonder how one who opposes the thoughts of the conservative right would defend these points. Wait. No I don't. I have heard all that BS before.
 
Not in Snopes, so it must be true!

It's therefore set it stone as TRUTH: it's on the Internet so it must be true.
 
Um, wow, just.....and they call themselves "The Knowledge Movement" Reads more like a bowel movement.
I find it very funny how regardless of fact, persons on either side of the political argument always think themselves right. I read the first piece originally and could see the truth in every point but also the over-reaches. This obviously youthful Facebooker looked at the same writings and saw completely the opposite. Kind of. Many of his "points" do not even address the topics but he sure got excited! He seems to be all for taxing persons at 90%. 90%! Under what drug affect does one have to be to see the ignorance in that position?

I have had, and continue to have, a large number of issues with the way our government has been run the last number of years and presidencies but taxation is and will remain my largest gripe. Jack and I spent likely years sparring on the topic. No one will ever convince me our current tax structure is anywhere close to right or fair.
