                    Location: In the Hills of Texas | ~Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity ARE THE CANADIANS RIGHT, SEEMS IT COULD BE VERY POSSIBLE. AS I SEE MORE OF IT HAPPENING EVERY DAY. SOME VERY GOOD POINTS Canadian editorial humor directed at US (For good reason this makes our country appear stupid) This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity. 10) Only in America ... could Democrat 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 go to black Americans – 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics! Only in America ... could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Democrat Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Democrat 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 people such as Tea Party and Libertarians 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 Democrat Administration 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. |

   Location: Central TX | embarrassing! i actually know a lot of canadians from rodeoing up there some in the past and they dont think we are the biggest idiots, They think the way our country is ran is pure idiocracy. It really is though. Canadians don't hate Americans..well im sure some do, but the majority of them are fairly friendly towards Americans. |

| Canada has a long list quite similar to this one of things that make absolutely no sense at all. I'm sure this was not written by a Canadian. And no, Canadian's don't think that way of American's at all. We are really all the same with a border between us. |

Really? Who will put down their Iphones long enough to do that? They will "like" it but do nothing just like they do at the voting booth. |
