No reason. I may be somewhat unusual on this list, but I happen to love the U.S. Sure, taxes are high, the dollar is an issue and there are other things that may not be 100%. But where is it 100%?Thanks for the explanation. As I understand the "poem" - it is meant to protest government activities. So, why is "do nothing" not a good approach?
70% of the world's population have annual incomes (purchasing power) under $10,000.
When you look at the taxes and other issues that folks complain about, take into account what you can do with what you have left. My grandfather who used to say he could buy butter for 50 cents a pound. My grandmother quickly reminded him that he had to work two hours to buy that butter. Today you work 10 minutes to buy that butter that costs $3 per pound.
And, if the US is so bad, why do we have so many people trying to come here for work? And why so many illegals here working? When somebody does come up with that perfect country -- the one that allows you to keep all your hard-earned money, that doesn't tax you, that allows you to earn the highest income in the world, and has a Starbucks on every corner - let me know.
It's your choice where you live.
FWIW
