I see things like this and wonder

How did it ever wind up like this?

America is the greatest nation in the world

But it should not be in issues such as these

And we must face these issues and discuss them in order to truly handle them

We start right here, right now

mayhap people in USA nowadays just want to live fast and live hard

well ok, but then

why?

...

Stopped reading when the thing said the US had more CO2 emissions than China. Absolute bullshit.

really
want kind of rape?

Economic

I doubt America is #1 in taxation

America is 4th in landmass, 3rd in population, and 1st in industrialization. People use cars here because of the size of the terrain and wide area between populated areas.

niggers, immigrants, liberalism

America is 3rd in population and first in industrialization. Also the Mcdonald's business model lends itself to franchising, and Americans love to own franchises.

Having the most cars and spending the most time in car travel also means people need reconstructive surgery from car crashes. Also elective plastic surgery is cheap, and why wouldn't a man pay $2000 to put 1650cc breast implants in his trophy wife?

When exactly was the US the greatest country in the world? Certainly wasn't before WW1, and the main reason it became somewhat good was because every good country got massively fucked in WW1. You need to have all of your competition lose nearly everything TWICE and even then you aren't the greatest yet.

1776 - 1913

lol

this really set you off

please post images of your masculine shoulders everyone

If you're going to try to justify all these things spend 2 seconds and google it. We're not first in CO2 emissions.
Why aren't you questioning this? There's absolutely now way that the US has the highest teen birthrate in the world. Just because it's on an infographic doesn't mean it's true.

If you include state and municipal taxes, they are.

The nominal dollars are massive. The federal government takes in $4.6 Trillion (yes, it really is TRILLION, as in $2,400,000,000,000) in annual tax revenue, while the state governments take in a total of $2.4 Trillion annually.

freedom fighters like to counter rightist claims by not accounting for things like state taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes; so they end up just comparing the federal income tax against other countries who have both an income tax and a VAT. But the VATs in Europe are used to increase the price of goods, which acts to inflate their currency and artificially function as a way of making their exports more expensive.

But when you look at the big picture, Americans are the most taxed, as both a percent of their purchasing power, and in the nominal dollars.

herp, messed up the conversion, should read as $4,600,000,000,000 for federal government, and $2,400,000,000,000 for states.

This handly little infographic doesn't say if this is by percentage or just totals. The US has a higher population than all but India and China, and frankly both are corrupt. India's lacking infrastructure and poor law enforcement allow for its fewer prisoners, and China carrying out thousands of death sentences per year account for its fewer prisoners.

well that's not very good now is it

it would be better to just say your original post is a strawman and then post the actual true facts

nigger

Thats bullshit, europe was much better before WW1. Hell, for WW1, when the US joined in, the european countries had to sell them weapons as well as train their armies because they were so shit.

so what you are saying is murrica is not corrupt?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

oh, cuz I would believed you if you'd said prisoner rape

There's undeniable cronyism and questionable politicians, but overall yes. The US as per the Corruption Perceptions Index is far less corrupt. In India, many many state officials take bribes. Corrupt officials are aplenty in China also, a few were exposed by the Human Flesh Search Engine.

Those are the true facts, kikel.

but your posts are weighed down by mentioning china and india and being generally about nothing at all

let's try this again

AMERICAN DOMESTIC ISSUES

ISSUES THAT ARE ABOUT AMERICA BECAUSE THE CONCERN AMERICANS

AMERICAN JOBS AND WELFARE

WELFARE MEANS THAT GOOD HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO STOOD UP FOR AMERICA BY PAYING THEIR TAXES ALSO GET SOMETHING BACK FROM AMERICA WHEN THEY ARE TOO OLD TO WORK ANYMORE

ALL THEY ASK IS THAT THE END OF THEIR LIFE IS NOT DESCRIBED IN A FUCKING MINISTRY SONG
