What Is Wrong With America ?

Please be brief. I will briefly state that there probably are 100 things (or more) wrong with America, but I will state just one for now >>

America is too much run by rich people. Members of Congress, the President and Vice-President, and members of the Supreme Court are generally all rich people. What do they know about middle class, lower middle class, and poor people's lives ? How can they make decisions about things they have no experience with, or have long forgotten from years past ? When have these people ever been unemployed, and out looking for a job, with a wide variety of things being used against them ? (credit reports, smear talk from former employers often untrue, etc). The last time I applied for a job I was told I would never get hired because employers require RECENT employment in that job occupation (within last 2 years). There's probably a long list of ways people can be denied a job, that shouldn't exist, and don't make sense.

I believe the problem lies in the fact that America has become a country of agnostics. The idea that one reaps what one sows only makes sense where one believes that there will be retribution for wrong doers. The agnostic, at best, feels that there "might" be some retribution for "some" wrong doers ---- once one decides what it actually means to be a wrong doer and what is right or wrong...:eusa_boohoo:
 
We have strayed from the christian values this country was founded on. We are spoiled unlike the recent generations before us who's sacrifises forged this great nation. We are not thankful for what we have so we forsake it. We don't treasure our sovereignty; we give invaders the keys. We no longer believe that people should be held responsible for their actions; we no longer punish severly enough those who pray on others, but instead imprison millions for substance use - creating an anti productive class. We have been infiltrated by progressives who serve evil in the guise of compassion, and they have sold us out - convincing the masses that government has a duty to take care of them.

I miss those christian values america was founded on most. A guy could have a slave, wimminfolk couldn't vote and neither could most poor white males.
 
People have stopped trying to think. To reason. To logically process information before acting, speaking and voting.

More a liberal condition than nationally universal.

The Market will work it out; wouldn't you say?
 
What is wrong with America? Nothing an election won't cure.

We Tried that - remember ??? That's how we got got this tin-pot Kenyan born socialist puppet . The Democratic controlled Media destroyed his predecessor , and are still working hard to destroy and besmurch any right wing potentiates.

If the Democrats succeed in befuddling the Public again - it's time for a Revolution.

Although IMO they will lose the next Pres. election - sit back for 4 - 8 years and let a Republican take the Blame for the coming disaster they've created.

Maybe you weren't paying attention when the USS USA almost sunk under eight years of a republican in the white house. Disasters always follow republicans and then the adult in the room, a democrat, has to make things right. Don't forget the great depression, watergate, Iran Contra and of course the bush disaster.

The fact is that slavery was fought against by Church folk. Slavery was primarily the goal of wealthy landowners who manipulated some churches to uphold their lifestyle by controlling the Sunday offering in those churches, and instilling ministers who would at least remain silent (at the threat of losing their post) regarding the issue. The fact is that the Democrats upheld slavery and instilled the Jim Crow laws and kept them in affect well into the 1960's. The fact is that Harriet Beecher Stow (the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin) was a staunch Christian Bible thumper who also wrote Christian hymns/literatue. The fact is that some of the Founding Fathers wanted to end slavery but could not get the South to sign on if they did. So they allowed it to be a matter of "States Rights." The fact is that the "Underground Railroad" could not have worked unless there were anti-slavery sympathizers among the southerners. The fact is that the Civil War was a direct result of the religious fervor sweeping the country just before the war. The fact is that it was not uncommon for people to write in King James English and speak in thee, thy, and thou as a sign of their devotion to the Biblical text. The fact is that as long as the issue was over "States Rights," the South was in their right; however, when the issue became "Emancipation," even Robert E. Lee began to see the writing on the wall. And I believe that the might hand of God was in it.

As for voter regulations and the vote for women, there is no Biblical mandate. However, once again it became such a very religious issue that when Women did get the vote, one of the first things to happen was that "Temperance" became the law of the land.

That your president was born in Kenya is doubtful; that he is of Kenyan descent is certain.

Imo ancestry is more important than place of birth. (Maybe I say this because my ancestors are British, though my place of birth is France).

He has admitted to being Kenyan Born

There's nothing wrong with this country

There is however something wrong with its citizens.

They have become complacent and believe they are entitled to more than what they themselves can achieve.

^ this is one of the problems. The assumption that these problems are caused by someone else.

If there are problems in our nation it's because we expect the government to do everything instead of doing what is right and governing ourselves despite the government.

Im not hurt because my fellow citizen makes more money than me. Stiring up phoney divisions hurts this country.
 
Please be brief.

i will, too many liberals, democRATS, socialists, commies, progressives, marxists, criminals, actually criminal describes all the former named factions.

here is the truth about democrats, socialists, communists, marxists – All the Same

This post is the perfect example of what is wrong with this country. These are the people that blame everyone else in their self righteousness, pretending that it's all "their" fault.
 
What Is Wrong With America ?

The GOP have turned into a fascist tyranny for the super rich who seriously believe that they are the dictators even when they lose elections
 
What Is Wrong With America ? .

In the 1890's it was taken over by fascists and socialists.

Politicians decided that they knew better than the marketplace what was better for Americans. Politicians found out that manipulating certain factions they could gain power and prestige.

Many Americans decided that they like freebies more than working.

Ridiculous- That's when you started being a hateful Rushbot Reaganist, pandering to the greedy idiot rich and destroying the nonrich...and totally misinformed


Incorrect. That when your ancestors and their ilk became Marxist scumbags determined to destroy Capitalism and the producers.

Capitalism and its producers can function quite well with a good dose of Marxism mixed in.

1. When I owned a business, I paid my workers the equivalent of $150/hour, and that was only giving them 15% of a sale.

2. My biggest problem was other businesses constantly ranting against raising the minimum wage. The terribly low minimum wage was the # 1 cause of my sales being kept abnormally low.

3. According to an NBC/Wall St. Journal poll 81% of Americans favor raising taxes on the rich. SO 81% of Americans are at least semi-"Marxists" ? Looks that way.

lol, don't you mean the 1780's? :doubt: I mean c'mon. We first bailed out Wall Street in 1792.

Bullshit. Link, please.

Chartered transcontinental railroads, by gifting the companies massive land grants to borrow against.

Every RR chartered by the federal government failed. Only one survived, the one which refused federal funds. Again, the federal government took it upon itself to intervene in economic matters.

And there was a protectionist Tariff until 1947.

As I indicated earlier, GATT was brought about because politicians decided that they knew what is best for an economy.

But this outsider thinks that one of the things 'wrong with America' is that so few people bother to vote. You have the lowest turnout of any developed democracy. Why is that?

THAT is because there really is no choice. You can vote for a Republican who kisses the asses of the richest 1% of the country, to everyone's detriment, or you can vote for a Democrat who kisses the asses of immigrants, minorities, the Muslim Brotherhood, and wants to allow convicted killers to escape the death penalty, so they can live to kill again.

Why vote ?
