But, we all (ok, most of us) pay taxes, don't steal, etc. So, according to you we are serving our country. Everyone who woke up today and started earning an income and paying taxes on that income or did not wind up in jail, have served their country. So how can they forget how we serve our country? I am pretty sure most of us did not forget we are not in jail or that we paid our taxes.
If most of us still pay taxes and don't get thrown in jail, thus, according to you, serving our country, how can this be what caused the global economic crisis? You are talking in circles. 'Payin taxes is a service to our country. But what brought about the global economic crisis is that Americans don't know how to server their country.'
