Americans vote for your Death Star

America is the country where they say you have the power to change things but you don't(for the most part, unless you're rich or influential anyways). Protesting laws mean you have to file paperwork and jump through hoops just to protest things you dislike(And even then you usually have to protest a good distance away from whatever it is you're trying to protest.), advertising/schools/the media(either on purpose or accidentally) mold a good portion of our future generations into more mindless consumers who go along with the status quo, the electoral system is set up to keep us fighting against each other over perceived evils of the "other" side(Democrat vs. Republican, major party vs independant, etc.) while discouraging people in different ways from wanting to vote for independant/average joe candidates.....the list goes on.

I don't care how much you may or may not make. Good job on having a work ethic.

In America, we prefer liberty over what people in power want us to do. Considering Obama is spending trillions of dollars we don't have each year going to welfare programs that keep people unemployed and reliant on government programs, thus creating the food stamp/welfare state that encourages a growing underclass to perpetually vote Democrat. I do whatever I want with my money and spend it however I want. Keep your hands off my wallet or I will forcibly remove it however I will. You entitled people angrily speak of the 1% label and the many divisive us-vs-them arguments that Liberals create to get votes, but you never want to pay for it yourself. Why is having a Fascist market economy so important that you support so much crippling regulation and punish the successful companies who don't agree with your views? Solyndra was an excuse to hand hundreds of millions to the executives, while the employees didn't see any of it.

"Pay your actors and professional athletes much less money, and use that money to fund healthcare and education." Destroy the capitalist system and become a communist nation? Everywhere that has been tried has failed.

"Educate your children better" Will cost more money that the US doesn't have.

"Get rid of private credit lenders." So people can't pay for anything unless they have the money outright? Everyone's homeless.

"Outlaw the loopholes around monopolies" Requires building a government law team to find all these and stop them. The trouble with this is that private law teams are always smarter than a government one.

"increase tariffs on imported goods to stimulate your economy. Get rid of unions. Use natural gas, and have government-owned gas stations" all good points I think

"Also, don't give tax breaks for donating to charity." That would reduce the incentive for charitable causes.

"All the rich do in this country is sit on their wealth and let it grow bigger, so all you have to do is take it away from them" That would utterly destroy the economy and cause chaos. The rich would leave and take the money, or cause a revolt against the action.

Free insurance? I've never heard of such a thing.

I wonder why...
