Sorry, but you'll have to be a little more specific. I happen to think we have a terrific country. Our freedoms are in tact. I get in my car and go to work everyday (except when I work at home). There is no Gestapo at my door. I do what I want, when I want, within the confines of the law. I’m better off today than I was 8 years ago. We still have the most powerful military on the planet. People are still flocking to our borders, legally and illegally, every year.
So what exactly are you talking about?
America has a lot of great qualities about it that no one can deny but people were/are saying everything was/is fine and dandy while these things were/are gong on;
the Vietnam war, while young (
free) men were being drafted, 60,000 died (and for what?),
while African Americans were slaves and segregated from the rest of the country,
while the American dollar slips in value everyday,
while jobs go overseas,
while we produce less and less,
while we go in debt more and more, (America is the biggest debter nation in the world.),
two people have to work now for the same things one person had to work for
The Patriot Act,
Osama bin Laden still running free while American men and women fight some bullshit war in Iraq,
Government ignoring threats of attacks on America before they happened,
CIA overthrowing democratically elected officials in other countries,
taxing Americans to rebuild infastructure in countries that we bombed the shit out of,
treating you like property so they can tax your income before you have a say in how you spend your money
can't audit the federal reserve
Governemnt keeps getting bigger and bigger and politicians forget that they represent the people, how many decisions happen without any say from the American people?
Can't assemble to protest freely. (WTO protests)
it goes on and on..lots of things to improve on.
