Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to shake your head in disbelief, and, just maybe choke someone in charge. This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.



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

# 09
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!

# 08
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.

# 07
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.

# 06
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)

# 05
Only in America... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be called EXTREMISTS.

# 04
Only in America... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

# 03
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 Marathon Oil, a major U.S. Oil company is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

# 02
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.

# 01
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.

Did you snopes this? I see no reference to who "canada's david letterman" might be. Looks like some yahoo wrote it up and wanted to attribute it to someone to give it legitimacy.

.... kind of like "Yeah, sure I've got a girlfriend... she lives in Canada, you've never met her"....


Huh... canada gets blamed for all the non-existent stuff. Do we even know if canada exists?

Typical republican chit- propaganda and lying about who said it. I figured the Canucks were smarter than that since they recently cancelled their version of Faux news.
