Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.-from the inbox

... 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. 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 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 (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 total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain
that it doesn't have nearly 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.
