Why is America so screwed up?

[JakeWIlls92]

Half of all American school children are living in poverty.

50 million are on food stamps.

Half of us do not vote.

More than 60 percent of Americans are overweight or obese.

We are trillions of dollars in debt.

We are more divided than ever.

Politics has turned into one big reality show.

The Washington elites don't give a damn.

When will this madness end? Is America the 21st Century equivalent of Rome? How did we get to this point?

Vietnam.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Because it's made up of imperfect humans.

And recently, a number of them scraping the bottom of the barrel, trying to change the country's laws and customs and making it legal to steal stuff if you can get a 51% vote. Namely, modern liberals.

How did we get to this point?

Regressives AKA leftist Aholes.

The rubes in this thread are right. All the technology and advancements brought about by liberals have made us fat and weak. We need to elect a republican to punish us like Dubya did.

Technology doesn't make people fat and weak, liberal social programs do. If you elect a Republican, they just may make you get off of your fat ass, off of your Obama Phone, off of SANP's card and make you work for a living. Then you won't be so fat and weak.

The far left gained political power in the US, once you get the far left out of power, then we as a nation can start to grow again..

Progressives

 

[ScienceRocks]

Free trade, offshoring, death of unions and anti-trust laws not being enforced.

Republicans have screwed this nation and they're scum of the earth.

Progressives

Most progressives hate free trade and support the unions that built our middle class in the first place. Please learn something.
