This is Canada ’s Top Ten List of America ’s Stupidity.) 



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 12% of the 
population is black.  40% of all federal entitlements go 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 former 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.
