What is wrong with America? We have so many problems of our own, when are we, the American people going?

Question

to tkae back control of our nation from the overpaid undertaxed politicians who are making our country, the very nation our forefathers fought to free and to protect, look like one big joke?

We the tax payers are footing the bill for a war, which in part I agree with, and to rebuild the Iraqi nation while those death mongers continue to destroy all that we do to help. How about we take the 2.3 trillion dollars or whatever astronomical amount of money experts figure it will cost for this unwinnable war and put it back into our nation so it can stand proud once more. Lets get our homeless out of the streets, the honestly poor a leg up, and lastly put those who refuse pull their weight out to fend for theirselves. Also, lets make our elected officials earn their money or get rid of them also.

One sick and tired American Taxpayer.

Answer 1

Free Trade is what is wrong. Other problems which many other countries face a belief in the superiority of man over all lifeforms. If you have the means organise a protest against the belief in human superiority. Protest against those who use oil in cars when unecessary. Campaign to make contempt of people on basis of wealth illegal. Ban coprights on anti-racist books as phrase no part of this book can be reproduced without written permission of publisher can be deemed racist. treatment of old people is wrong prejudice by young arrogant people who think they will never grow old is a problem. should make word senile illegal. young people hate old people. not o young ones too.

Answer 2

Which continent do you mean? North or South America? And which country in one of theese 2 continents called 'America'?

'America' for 'USA' is politically and geographically not correct.

Answer 3

Welcome aboard!  You know, of course, that we don't have the money you are talking about, we are a debtor nation, we have sold out to China, Japan, & just about any other country that has any money, wants to buy a share of America! Today, before we even reach that amount of money, every man, woman & child is indebt to the tune of $8,000!

Our form of government would work fine, if the people we elect to office would do their jobs & work for the people instead of corporate & military America! In essense, they are working for themselves; they are all wealthy but, what they have isn't enough, they want more & no matter what, they are gonna get it!  The only recourse we, as citizens, have to the mess now happening in our government, is the vote.  Vote every last one of them out of office, they have sold us down the river!

Answer 4

I agree to a point.

Most homeless people prefer to be that way. Look it up, it's true.

A big problem is lifelong welfare recipients. There are generations of them in many families. It's like their "job" to collect free money, medical and food.

I'm for strict term limits. We have a h**l of a lot of useless elected officials that mirror those lifelong welfare recipients I spoke of. They are no better, and twice as useless to our countries taxpayers.

Another big problem is stupid Liberal programs, like we have in Cali. It would make you puke to know what the freakshow Libs are spending, and trying to spend fresh money on here.

I think the taxpayer should have the pleasant responsibility of voting on both state and federal spending budgets once or twice per month.

These budgets would be clear, with no legalese or BS "fine print" and, the voters will would NOT be contestable by any lawsuits.

Answer 5

im sure if you have a spare room there's a homeless person out there who'd love to move in.  you want people to fend for themselves - but want to house them at the same time, that's confusing.

and in case you missed it - the politicians are Americans too.

Answer 6

Thats all swell but these are problems that are associated with a democracy of 300 million.  What is wrong with America?  I resent the question because I am tired of people who think only in negative terms.  Yep, the war is difficult and we should know that going in.  I think the wimpy view of the war is dangerous to our troops becaue the enemy knows that if they can target them individually just to ring up numbers then the negative people in the US will do the rest.  I have looked hard into tax reform and I am middle class to lower middle class in income.  I don't buy the simple slogans of the left that Bush has taxed the middle class and given huge tax breaks to the wealthy.  How do you foster economic growth if you start by telling people if they are successful, and create thousands of jobs, they will be targeted for uneven taxes?  Thats not what America is about and that does not end the welfare state.  Wealthy people are part of the American mix, they are not greedy misers hiding out in basements with their money.  The actual average millionaire is the head of a firm who employs many, spends millions in the economy and donates to arts and education (private schools often) where government money has been eliminated by left wing courts.  I am not happy about my taxes but I am not 12 years old either and want to point at others who have more than me.  I would like to see less government and I would like to see fewer social programs.  I would like to see better courts that do not leave children in drug/abused homes where they are held by addicted and lazy parents as welfare hostages for the monthly check. A justice system that is not the workbench for greedy trial lawyers at the expense of justice and fairness and common sense.  The money spent on the war does not all go to Iraq even if used in Iraq.  There are hundreds of thousands trades working in military support factories in the US.  2.3 trillion is not anywhere near the right figure, its just a nice exaggeration which is politically fun but not helpful.  The same left wing flakees who stand around sipping wine and cheese at the opera are the wealthy.  The same courts that do not save kids from harm's way are liberals.  The same bureaucrats who have created a welfare state where no one has any reason to work or finish school are the liberals.  Politicians don't hold office for the money paid to them, its the power and the influence.  We returned the same Congressmen time after time regardless of how perverted or corrupt they are because they promise everything to everyone.  Bush probably represents the average American more than anyone the Dems have put up in twenty years, but Congress is where we can make change.  Why vote for  a Congressman who votes against everything you stand for so long as he votes for the one issue you hold dear, like guns, or abortion or anti war, or blah blah.  Lets turn them all out.  Career Congressmen and Senators have created a freakish set of Federal Judges (for life)who have effect eveyrthing in this country.  Lets change Congress and maybe Dems will put up a candiate who represents the average guy.  They have not for a long time.  Me?  I am a lifelong Dem, moderate to liberal on social justice issues, more to the right on natioanl security and protecting business and jobs in the US.  A lifelong Dem who voted for Bush twice, because my party offered no one better, and so did millions of other Dems.  Nothing is messed up but us, we vote idiots in and then wonder why they are idiots.  That makes us stupid and gullible. We could change it but that would require us to not be political patsies or barking dogs who sit up and pant when some politicial hack says he is just like us.  They are not, they are smarter than we are.

Answer 7

There are many countries in the world which has much more problems than Iraq. But why America decided to attack on Iraq? surely they sought a long term profit by controlling the oil fields of Iraq. and the execution of advanced weapons so ordinance industries of America will have a steep boost. It is the country which always found profit from the weakness of other countries. you peoples are only suffering side effects.
