Superficial thinking there; those are crimes and not political or economic theories or actions with a voting constituency (except for corruption, a practice that is very American)...
We are currently past the 90 day limit for fighting in Syria right now. That is in violation of the Constitution. Is that American now too? Its political.
This is obviously an ideology issue, something I am not going to argue with you. I believe that our government has no interest interjecting itself into a private industry for any reason other than safety. A business that is properly managed shouldn't need a multi billion dollar bailout at taxpayers expense. A business that isn't properly managed should not be propped up by the government.
If the government wants to LOAN money (money is paid back with interest), then I am willing to consider (so long as the taxpayers aren't paying more interest on the borrowed money than they are earning in return).
I'm glad that you are happy with where America is going. I prefer the America where you worked hard to get ahead and lived within your means. I prefer the America where your house was where you raised your family, not a building you essentially use as a credit card to leverage money. I prefer the America where you had pride in yourself and in your work and you didn't take a handout that cost the country money.
My America is quickly disappearing, you are right. How many millions of people are on welfare right now, collecting money to sit at home and breed. How many millions of people are collecting social security right now for nonsense like ADHD and fake injuries? How many politicians are getting rich taking money from special interest groups? How many US military personnel are struggling to survive while awaiting proper treatment from VA hospitals while the US government is paying subsidies to degenerates so they can get better healthcare than our military? That doesn't mean that I have to accept it.
