A Canadian's Version Of David Letterman's Top 10

This is what other countries think of us, in this case Canada.


Do we look like idiots or what?

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 ( 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.
