OT, Americans Are Such Horrible People

[The Daring Dufas]

For all my Leftists friends from other countries, you were right. Americans are horrible.

Merry Christmas!

And it's more than one family to another. From the Wall Street Journal this past week:

"This study is consistent with many other studies showing that America is by far the most charitable country on Earth. We give about 2% of our national income to charity; most other countries give 1% or much less."

Of course America is a rich country. We may be giving more simply because we can. Perhaps folks in other countries would LIKE to do more for their less-fortunate neighbors, but, because of a variety of reasons, they are simply unable to do so.

Yeah, the next time I am out on my 17,000 acre ranch I will certainly be watching for pink balloons from the migrant workers I employ for wages so low that only the truly pathetic would work for them, and I also need to remember to apply for my regular government farm subsidy to keep my profits up.

Nationalize them, of course. First step is to blame them, then take away any charitable tax deductions. Sound familiar?

Nah, persecution seems to be on the agenda.
