Answer 1

It's 2:30 in the morning in California. Americans are sleeping. I think 90 percent of Americans are more aggressive and liberal when they are young. They believe in laws to protect the rich because they think someday they will be. Most grow up and find themselves doing a job they don't like and are good at it. So now screw the rich, tax them more. Americans over 35 have created enough debt and responsibility so that they become trapped. They don't expect to become rich so they think it's O.K. to take 50 to 60% of someones inheritance in taxes that a father or mother sacrificed their whole miserable life to pass on to the next generation so they wouldn't be ignorant indentured servants their whole lives. They expect their children to fend for themselves so they can maybe have an R.V. and live off of a reverse mortgage till it runs out. Social Security? Sure bet. They don't know much about their own lives so screw others, its their own problem. How is it going to affect them anyway? Americans cannot expect much from their lives. They use half *** philosophy or change their perspective to make everything seem o.k. for themselves. Maybe heaven will be more fun? Right?Why expect more from our government if it really doesn't affect you? Right? So the world gets screwed. I'm not responsible for it. Who is? You know if we all pitched in on an effective U.S. capitalist democracy we could semi retire at 40. If we are really so great we could thrive off of developing countries without being so obvious. They might even slowly prosper. I haven't seen any of the Americans the taught me about in school.

Answer 2

America is the hope for the world.

It must set the example of sharing.

one fifth of the world lives on a dollar a day
thats billions.
the majority of the planet lives on less than 2 dollars a day.

there is twice the amount of food available to feed the entire planet.
That there is still starvation in the world is the greatest injustice in the world.

I would tell my childrent that America is the cure to the injustices of the world........not in my lifetime but theirs.

that one day they will lead this country to help the worlds poor, starving
and this country was the first to fight global warming, to create cheap effective alternative fuels......

and that we survived the most corrupt adminstartion ever.........

America is the country of justice....just not right now.

Answer 3

The ability to say what I want, go where I want, when I want, to believe whatever religious faith I want to believe, The ability to pass on to my daughter they can be whatever they want to be, and do whatever they want to do, without persecution. To know that my daughter can drive a car, own a business or run a company, and vote on the things in her life that affect her life. That is America, that is why it is called the land of opportunity
