TOP-10 "ONLY IN AMERICA" OBSERVATIONS -- BY A CANADIAN*
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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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 we 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."
6) Only in America could you need to present a driver's license to
cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
7) 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).
8) 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.
9) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich
at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
10) Only in America can a man with no background, no qualifications
and no experience ... and a complete failure at his job ... be
reelected.

Agreed.

Obama and the left are doing their best to try and change that.

Yep, but every other country, including Canada, is ahead of us on the downward slope. Except possibly in monetary terms.

Not to mention despite the "only in America" tag lots of similar things to those mentioned happen in other countries too.
