What is wrong with the United States? Whats wrong with our "democracy"? Our people?

Answer 1

Nothing. The same people have been asking the same question and making the same complaints since 1777; and they probably still will in 2777.

Answer 2

There are a lot of problems in America. The roots of these problems are deep and go back a long way in the American history.
The American Constitution protects more the interest of private business and not so much the people's rights. The Amendments were fought for and won by the people. There were those who rejected the idea of a bill of rights - the federalists.
And then there was slavery. The most primitive aspect of the American history. Countries around the world were abolishing slavery but some American states refused to do so. Slavery was a good pretext for The American Civil War - another dark chapter in the American history.
Then, in 1913 - the income tax fraud and the Federal Reserve Act were passed by Congress. Paving the way for the most powerful and corrupt financial system in the world. In 1913 - the power of issuing money was offered on a silver plater to this private bank - the Federal Reserve. YES, it is a private bank - and it makes money. You have a private corporation making dollars out of thin air. More - the American government borrows money form this private bank with interest. 100% of the money extracted by the IRS form the people with this illegal income tax - goes to the debt of the Government to the Federal Reserve (a privately owned bank). Who owns of the bank? It's a secret. Not even a congressman is allowed to know. So, your money is like monopoly money - issued by some private bank.
And then - there's the Military Industrial Complex - another privately owned chain of corporations that produce weapons, planes, submarines - everything! MIC makes money from war. Every time American soldiers and some patriot soldiers from another country that defend their country kill each other - these MIC guys watch the "game" and make money.
And then there is the GHOST of terrorism. ALL terror attacks against America were orchestrated from within - search for yourself. Oklahoma City bombing, the first attack on the World Trade Center (February 26, 1993) in New York, 9/11, even Pearl Harbor was a little enhanced to be more victims (the attack was no surprise - the fact that the Japaneses decided to attack was a good surprise).
Then, there's your MEDIA. The most advanced Weapon of Mass Disinformation. So powerful, that when 9/11 happened - if Bush said aliens from Mars did it - everyone would believe! The official story of 9/11 not only is a blatant LIE, it doesn't even have the decency to obey the laws of physics! And, I am not talking about some deep quantum physics principle. I am talking about the Law of Conservation of Momentum. In clear English - on 9/11 - the speed, symmetry, molten metal, concrete pulverization - can ONLY be explained by a Controlled Demolition Theory. Think about it! It looked like a controlled demolition, it sounded like a controlled demolition.
The Democrats and Republicans - are part of the same political party. The Republicrat Party - it's the illusion of choice. Then - you have electronic voting machines (privately owned) - the perfect tool to steal elections.
You have THE PATRIOT ACT, THE HOMELAND SECURITY ACT - have you actually read these acts???

Anyone who is not shocked (and awed) by all these things has not understood them yet.

Answer 3

Our cutting-edge understanding of quantuum concept has many stange consequences that defy basic experience. i do ask your self however if there could be some thing we are lacking which will make all those epicycles upon epicycles rework into an ellipse. yet on the different hand, lots of those unusual consequences look nicely -examined. possibly we in basic terms ought to settle for that certainty is strange. For astronomy, if we locate dark count or a pragmatic use for its 11 dimensions the universe might look fairly diverse. for astrobiology, the biggest question for us is extraterrestrial beings... however if we learn that there are some, or learn that there 1are none (or a minimum of not something close). the two possibilities are frightening, yet i don't know that's scariest.

Answer 4

Nothing is wrong with the United States. Nothing is wrong with our democracy and nothing is wrong with the people. The laws are clear and there is no better political system in the world.

Answer 5

Individual freedom is the dream of our age. It's what our leaders promise to give us, it defines how we think of ourselves and, repeatedly, we have gone to war to impose freedom around the world. But if you step back and look at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.



Politicians promised to liberate us from the old dead hand of bureaucracy, but they have created an evermore controlling system of social management, driven by targets and numbers. Governments committed to freedom of choice have presided over a rise in inequality and a dramatic collapse in social mobility. And abroad, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the attempt to enforce freedom has led to bloody mayhem and the rise of an authoritarian anti-democratic Islamism. This, in turn, has helped inspire terrorist attacks in Britain. In response, the Government has dismantled long-standing laws designed to protect our freedom.

Answer 6

How long is this going to go on? Wrath was right. We do not live in a democracy. Our fathers and forefathers did not live in a democracy and the only ones that seem to think we do are the crybabies that lack the cajones to vote, fight, think or much of anything else!!

You may not know this but if you do your homework you will find a very famous document that states quite clearly "and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands"

Answer 7

What's wrong is that nobody gives a damn. As long as there's food on the table, gas in the SUV, money in the bank, and the homeless on someone else's front stoop, many people are content to let "other people" decide for them.

Answer 8

We don't have a democracy! We have a constitutional Republic! It's broken because lawmakers have crippled the Constitution, and the people have let them.

Answer 9

The middle is being divided by the extremes. The leftist extremist despise the middle. The rightest extremist despise the middle. The only difference between the two extremes is the way they dress.

Answer 10
