Please be brief. I will briefly state that there probably are 100 things (or more) wrong with America, but I will state just one for now >>
America is too much run by rich people. Members of Congress, the President and Vice-President, and members of the Supreme Court are generally all rich people. What do they know about middle class, lower middle class, and poor people's lives ? How can they make decisions about things they have no experience with, or have long forgotten from years past ? When have these people ever been unemployed, and out looking for a job, with a wide variety of things being used against them ? (credit reports, smear talk from former employers often untrue, etc). The last time I applied for a job I was told I would never get hired because employers require RECENT employment in that job occupation (within last 2 years). There's probably a long list of ways people can be denied a job, that shouldn't exist, and don't make sense.
IMHO: The biggest problem with America right now is the debt.
The people who created the debt are still in power. The parasites who are addicted to the debt vote early and often.

The people who created the debt have been in power since the 1970s.
Debt as a percentage of GDP has consistently increased since 1973 (expect for brief periods during the Clinton and Carter administrations).
The political parties count on flunkies to promote the idea that "it's the other guy's fault."
They ALL own it and unless we hold them ALL accountable, then we are holding NO ONE accountable.

I'll leave all the "axis-of-evil" analysis to you.
But we've been running a debt since the ink was still wet on the Constitution (1789 to be exact). It was in the late 70s that politicians of both parties seemed to realize that spending money that we don't have in order to buy goodies for their supporters translates into campaign contributions and re-election.

Excuse me?
Look, I get that you're a partisan hack and all, but get your meme right.
George Soros, your master, instructs you to claim that Clinton ran a "budget surplus" in 1999 - he didn't, but that is a different debate.
But dude, NO ONE tries to sell the fiction that Clinton reduced the debt - no one - it's just too stupid for words.
And CARTER, are you fucking kidding me?

It's politically expedient to hand out goodies and leave the bill for future generations. Medicare Pt. D would make it pretty hard for Republicans to deny culpability.

I condemn Bush all the time for his spending like a drunken monkey, but have yet to see those on your side of the aisle condemn Obama for adding as more debt in 4 years than Bush did in 8.
I have no side of aisle.
Perhaps it's convenient to create an image of someone and argue with that invented image rather than debate the facts.
It no longer wants to be a leader and its people seem not to care either way.
And that is the problem. And no - that was not the "main point of the post". You just tried (irrationally) to use it as justification for your main point - which is that you believe we need to punish the wealthy for their success and increase taxes on them.The quote you responded to Rot is actually mine. You may think 23% is outlandish but none of your party have reduced it when they had the power. Neither party has that was a main point of the post.
What does the Constitution have to do with anything?
It has everything to do with everything. We didn't get $17 trillion in debt because the federal government adhered to the 18 enumerated powers delegated to them in the U.S. Constitution. We have reached $17 trillion in debt because the federal government has unconstitutionally taken control of every facet of American life (education, transportation, masturbation, arts, parks, housing, farming & food, gaming, technology, energy, communications, clothing, fire, holocaust history, science, healthcare, carpet, animals, watches, power tools, firearms, movies, and endless more).
A main point, not the only point.... Its not punishment it is just practicality.... I would argue that some if not all of that is constitutional. (and some just an exaggeration on your part) But even if they arent constitutional, some government at some level, would likely be doing the spending in the feds place if they werent doing it. The states would probably rather have the feds do it in most cases.
I have no side of aisle.
Yeah I noticed that, when you shoveled the bullshit about Clinton reducing the national debt...
We are not so great any more, when once everyone wanted to go to and become Americans.

Liberals must realize their ideology is a failed ideology, their opinions are uninformed, and their arguments are weak because everyone of them starts off trying to convince the board they are actually "conservative" (I guess they believe that will provide them with credibility they can obtain on their own through own posted thoughts and ideas).

Dueling Debt Deceptions
Q: How much has the federal debt gone up under Obama?
A: During his first three years in office, it rose $4.7 trillion, an increase of 45 percent. Partisan graphics circulating via email and Facebook are both incorrect.
Theres no sugar-coating it, as some supporters of President Obama have tried to do. And the rapid rise in the debt is alarming enough without fabricating false statistics, as some Obama critics have done.
Its not true, for example, that the debt has increased only 16 percent since Obama took office. That erroneous calculation originally came from the office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. And despite being corrected later it has continued to circulate via email.
The figures in that graphic are pure fabrications, as anyone can easily confirm by plugging Obamas inauguration date Jan. 20, 2009 in the Treasury Departments handy debt to the penny website. That shows the nations total debt stood at $10.6 trillion on the day Obama took office (not $6.3 trillion), and it had increased to nearly $15.4 trillion by the end of January 2012 a rise of more than $4.7 trillion in just over three years (not $6.5 trillion).
Thats a huge increase to be sure 44.5 percent. And the Congressional Budget Office now projects that it will grow to more than $16 trillion by the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30. At that point, the debt will have increased by more dollars in Obamas first four years than it did in George W. Bushs entire eight-year tenure, when it rose by $4.9 trillion. The rise under Obama would then be the biggest dollar increase for any president in U.S. history.
