1) The US is NOT, I repeat, NOT the wealthiest country in the world.

</font>

• Rank Country GDP per capita</font>
• 1 Luxembourg $36,400</font>
• 2 United States $36,200</font>
• 3 Bermuda $33,000</font>
• 4 San Marino $32,000</font>
• 5 Switzerland $28,600</font>
• 6 Aruba $28,000</font>
• 7 Norway $27,700</font>
• 8 Monaco $27,000</font>
• 9 Singapore $26,500</font>
• 10 Denmark $25,500
  ...</font>
• 14 Japan $24,900</font>

So, please tell me how much money any of these other countries pledged. Hell, how much of your OWN money are you pledging?

2) Give it a rest. Kerry lost, but at least he managed to do so with more dignity then his supporters. Stop *****ing and moaning at every decision Bush makes.

3) How much money have we spent solve disasters within our own country this year? Where was Japan when Florida went in the crapper? ****, if my memory serves me, the only country to help was our friends up north. How much money is Canada pledging?

4) Just because we take in xx amount of money in taxes each year doesn't mean that we're rich. We've lost Billions to other countries in world loans that we'll never see. With every day we get into more and more debt. If this were a business, our CEO would have fled with the last $5 of company money to Switzerland by now.

5) I'm sick and tired of every college kid being an armchair politician. Get off your ***, graduate, learn where your taxes go, get off mommy and daddy's bankroll then come up with some informed (or at least semi-educated) opinions.
