Items From My Mailbox: Canadian Top Ten List. Thanks, Bonnie

: Canadian Top 10 List

                    Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10.

                    Just makes you wanna shake your head in disbelief.

                    This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity

                    Of course we look like idiots .....because we are.

                    

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

                    

                    Number 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 goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that
go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

                    

                    Number 8  Only in America...could
they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy
Geithner (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.

                    

                    Number 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.

                    

                    Number 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 (probably should be
number one).

                    

                    NUMBER 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.

                    

                    Number 4 Only in America...could you
need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not
to vote.

                    

                    Number 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).

                    

                    Number 2  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. 

                    

                    And Number 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. 

                    

                    PLEASE DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT
TO YOUR ENTIRE LIST.
