[BITList] Only in America

[Malcolm]

Hugh & Colin,

 

Yes, I also will agree that it is very Right Wing  and it is Republic
propaganda  and also that these things could be said about lots of
countries. However it does not mean that every thing about it is bullshit.
There are always 2 sides of an argument. I think that is does not matter if
you live in the UK or the USA or Aus the parties that are leading them at
this moment are only crap because that you think so and because that they
are not doing what you personally want them to do but lot of other folk will
be thinking that they are the bees knees.

 

Would I be wrong if I presume that all our group are reasonably comfortably
off. Probably we have no millionaires in the group but hopefully none of are
living hand to mouth. Never the less probably are finding that our lives are
costing us more than it was 5 years ago and that, it is why folks attitudes
are hardening against the ones who seem to have all the money and also the
ones who seem to be able milk the system for all its worth. It seems to me
that the £30,000 to the £40,000 salary earners in the UK are having the
burden to pay for everything that the bankers and the politicians cock ups
that they have done for the last 10 years. Naturally they will feel pissed
off when they see their countries are filling up with foreigners with not
two pennies to rub together why their living standards are going down. They
also know that it will never get any better for a least the next 20 years. I
never thought that I would ever say that I am pleased that I am the age that
I now am.

 

Malcolm.

Only in America

 

 
             []            
Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a
$35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.

            []             
Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates
against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney
General and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black.

            []             
Only in America could we 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.

            []             
Only in America can we 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.

               []               

Only in America would we 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 become American citizens.

           []              
Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and
sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

          []               
Only in America could you need to present a current driver's license to cash
a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
[]        

                        
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).

          []               
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.

          []               
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.
