If that's all that they know then of course that's all that they think is the
best system.

Yes... Only in America do they tax there population give thier disabled, old
and infirm bare minimal sustance... have schools that do not succeed... have
roads that are crumbling... and an aging power grid yet they borrow millions
from other countries to bulid new schools in iraq, better power grid in
baghdad, for a people who don't appreciate them tear down the schools and keep
fighting.  Heck they have reduced perfectly good buildings to rubble that
existed before we ever got over there.

Only in America do we have kids carry food home in a backpack so that they can
eat on the weekend... food that's often donated by non-governmental sources
while our government spends millions feeding kids in other nations.

ONLY in America do we borrow millions of dollars in debt to take care of the
other nations of the world's problems.

We do less for our citizens than we do for the citizens of other nations yet
we are hated by many of the nations we help.

Rome was successful until it fell.  America has not lasted as long as the
Roman Empire... yet we are living in uncertain times now.

Perhaps the Great Orange Messiah can make us great again... somehow I feel
with this election we are SCREWED no matter who gets in.

 tr>>> Our position should have been `don't fuck with us...period'!

 LL> But you can't so you won't.  See how that works?  We are

More opportunities for big businesses to shut down and go open up in China,
Mexico, Taiwan, and yes now even Africa for cheaper labor... so that the other
nations can have the jobs that once were here.

 tr>>> Trade? Fine.

 DD>> As long as USA gets to ream the other party?

 LL> Opportunity and social mobility is what it is all about.
 LL> Americans have it, and want to share it all with everybody else.
 LL> In fact, Americans insist on it, and will not take no for an

Only social mobiltiy I've been witnessing is DOWN... there is no middle class
anymore... not in my area.  Where I lived was once a very upper middle class
area... nwo it's indestinguishable from the slums.  Crime has spiraled out of
control... we no longer have 24 hour stores in our area... even the wal-marts
are closing because of crime.  People are suffering... Doctors are closing up
shop... the healthcare reform has made it where a doctor has to hire more
accountants than nurses.

I'm sorry I have to say America has been in a downward spiral...  And I think
we haven't even seen the worst of it yet.  I have many friends around the
world... they are laughing at both of our major party presidential candidates.
