Stupidity, however the source has not been verified. The statements
speak for themselves.
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 20% of the federal
workforce is black, while only 14% of the population is black. Forty
+ % (40+%) of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans – 3X
the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
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 terrorists kill people in the name of Allah
and have the liberal 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 (Marathon Oil), 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 a total spending of
$7-Million PER MINUTE and complain that it doesn't have enough money.
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.
