Number One United States Leads The World!



#1 The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and the largest total prison population on the entire globe. Thanks to the "War on Drugs" one half of Americas prisoners are incarcerated for Marijuana use.


#2 According to NationMaster.com, the United States has the highest percentage of obese people in the world. Thanks to our fast food and zero healthy eating instructions.


#3 The United States has the highest divorce rate on the globe by a wide margin. We just can't live up to that stylized TV and movie lifestyles.


#4 The United States is tied with the U.K. for the most hours of television watched per person each week. Reding iz fundermantial.

#5 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet. When people are told they can't, they will plus we can afford it.

#6 There are more car thefts in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world by far. A lot more cars to steal and unemployed people with nothing to do.

#7 There are more reported rapes in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world. That's reported. Many country do not keep adequate records. Still no excuse for rape , anytime, anywhere, either sex.

#8 There are more reported murders in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world. Shot first and run.

#9 There are more total crimes in the United States each year than anywhere else in the world.It's a job these days.

#10 The United States also has more police officers than anywhere else in the world. We need to be kept in line for the wealthy.

#11 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth. And we rank 37th in the world?

#12 The United States has more people on pharmaceutical drugs than any other country on the planet. A happy population is a docile population.

#13 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world. Stepford wives wanted.

#14 Americans have more student loan debt than anyone else in the world. You need a job to pay your loan.

#15 More pornography is created in the United States than anywhere else on the entire globe.  89 percent is made in the U.S.A. and only 11 percent is made in the rest of the world. Go listen to ♪♫ California Girls ♫♪ by the Beachboys.

#16 The United States has the largest trade deficit in the world every single year.  Between December 2000 and December 2010, the United States ran a total trade deficit of 6.1 trillion dollars with the rest of the world, and the U.S. has had a negative trade balance every single year since 1976. This is where your job went.

#17 The United States spends 7 times more on the military than any other nation on the planet does.  In fact, U.S. military spending is greater than the military spending of China, Russia, Japan, India, and the rest of NATO combined. Lets see, we spend $4Trillion off the books for wars and now we are in debt for $4Trillion so logically the poor and middle class are being made to pay for Republican hostility.

#18 The United States has far more foreign military bases than any other country does. We leave a piece behind after every war. I project that in 100 years, we will have a military base in every country.

#19 The United States has the most complicated tax system in the entire world. Tax loop holes for the rich and for corporations. Every one including corporations would pay a simple 5% tax, we would have no deficit.

#20 The U.S. has accumulated the biggest national debt that the world has ever seen and it is rapidly getting worse.  Right now, U.S. government debt is expanding at a rate of $40,000 per second. It was not this way in the Clinton era.

Bush spent it.

Obama is blamed for it.

So are you convinced that we are in trouble yet?

Rick Scott, Tea Baging Florida one old fart at a time.



Welcome to the land that time forgot. The everglades swamp, gators the size of a small car.

Now the biggest gator of the land has spent $73,000,000.00 from the $300,000,000.00 of "earnings" his former hospital corporation, Columbia/HCA  ripping off Medicare to the tune of, ready for this?  $1.7 BILLION DOLLARS....That's $1,700,000,000.00 dollars his company was fined for taking YOUR money.


So this Scott dude, The same guy who allowed systemic and rampant fraud of the federal government to take place, runs for governor and wins. ...because people who he stole from are too stupid to listen to anything other than FOX and the Florida republican news media.

Florida votes a multi BILLION dollar thief into office!!!!!!

 Now Scott is paying his staffers with gift cards!
Could the Scott campaign be using the cards to pay their staffers in denominations so small, they don’t have to report the wages to the IRS?

Solantic, the Scott company that operates a string of for-profit clinics across Florida
Charged with employment discrimination, Medicare fraud, wrongful death,
repeatedly used doctors name and medical license information without their permission or knowledge. By allegedly misappropriating their information, the company was able to keep clinics operating in contravention of state law.

 Scott and Solantic have repeatedly refused to release any of the settlement agreements, depositions, or any other information they can conceal behind a wall of confidentiality.

And so the collapse of Florida begins!

Oh, The new Lt. Governor is being investigated by the FBI for forgery.

WTF happened to this country when the crooks rule openly?

Republican Happy Bill, Pets Before Humans!!!! WTF???



Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, Republican from Michigan, has introduced a bill that would change 








the U.S. Tax Code by allowing a new itemized deduction: pet care!

The HAPPY Bill,  House Resolution 3501, is the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years Act. (Sounds like a resolution for unmarried partners) It would allow "qualified pet care expenses" for a "qualified pet" up to $3500 a year. That is only $150 less than the tax write off of a human child!


Qualified pet care expenses would include 'amounts paid in connection with providing care (including veterinary care)..." The bill does not further specify what is meant by "care."  Is it "health care," or care that includes feeding, clothing, bedding, and toys for the pet?


A personal itemized deduction for pet care would be limited to $3500 per year. For humans to be eligible to deduct their own health care expenses, they first would need to be eligible to itemize total expenses and second, they could only deduct the amount of out-of-pocket health care expenses that are more than 7.5 percent of their adjusted gross income.

WTF!? Why do Republicans think more highly of their pets than of their human constituents? Why do they want to give tax write offs to pets while they block healthcare and let humans die for the lack of health insurance?  


Our Republican representative truly do not represent humans anymore! Write this jackass and let him know your thoughts!!!
