    WORTH REPEATING

    Read and weep!

    This is so sad; from a proud, strong country to a laughing stock of the world.

    Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to shake your head
    in disbelief, and, just maybe choke someone in charge.

    This is Canada 's Top Ten List of America 's Stupidity
    Of course we look like idiots - we are!

    # 10 Only in America ... Could democrat politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a
    $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event.

    # 09 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!

    # 08 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.

    # 07 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.

    # 06 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)

    # 05 Only in America ... Could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the
    country's Constitution be called EXTREMISTS.

    # 04 Only in America ... Could you need to present a driver's license (ID) to cash a check or buy
    alcohol, but not to vote.

    # 03 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).

    # 02 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.

    # 01 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.
