You call a tax fraud investigation "needlessly harassing the business of sovereign individuals?"

You're right, the U.S. is very business and industry friendly, which explains why the American people have been getting poorer and poorer while corporations and their shareholders get richer and richer.



The Average American is getting richer and richer, especially compared to European wage stagnation. I don’t think non-Americans understand how rich middle class americans are.


Only 50% of Americans have Passports. 80% in Europe.

We understand it, because we travel there on, our paid, vacations.

My last time in America I went to San Francisco, lots of money, I have not seen a worst place to live in my life.

Americans don't understand the quality of life other places have.


And other places don’t understand the sheer amount of wealth and freedom other people have. "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap" and San Francisco spends billions to look that cheap btw.

Especially Europe. Europeans don’t even seem to understand how large America is, which is why so few have passports.


America, the land of the free... the place where I could not even walk at night because the streets were full of homless people.


Just carry a gun.

Self-defense is an absolute right unlike other places.


Carrying weapons for self defense was a think people had to do around here in the Middle ages.


And in a free societies the people themselves are the enforcers and protectors. That's why we even have a jury system in place.

In America the people are responsible, not the government or their enlightened bureaucrats.

Take a walk around San Francisco and then say poverty isn't a problem.


Americans have been getting richer and richer according to most recent studies. At the same time, other socialist countries are getting, on average, poorer. I think you may be confusing social inequality with overall wealth.
