Ugh, thats not what I meant at all. I wasn't clear enough, my apologies. No, everyone knows that the US overall ranks low in most of the categories nowadays (or relatively low considering our size and influence and where we used to be). What I was referring to is the fact that we HAVE the best education, military, healthcare, technology etc IN the world. We have lots of ivy league schools, the top internet companies, the most advanced healthcare available. If you have some strange medical condition and you live elsewhere in the world, you want to come to the US to get expert opinions and to get treated. Our financial system, the system itself, is unparalleled. Now, that system has not been functioning well lately but its still the most important in the world. With education, the general population is not graduating at high rates or becoming literate and fluent inmath and science anywhere mear where they should be, but that doesnt change the fact that we have in our country, all across the land, top universities, top research institutions, top professors in the world. Its all here. And everyone around the world knows it. Publicly, foreigners laugh at America today, but when push comes to shove, they all want to get a Harvard MBA, they want the best guns and weaponry that we can make, they want our iPhones, they want what we have here !
You're absolutely right about everything you said. Those are facts that no one denies. What i am saying is the potential is all here. To simply give up and say, oh well this country is a lost cause forever, thats nonsense. We have been great in the past, we have fallen from that greatness but the building blocks of success are all still here, we just have to put them together in the right way with better leadership. Obama has done virtually nothing for 7 years now, just allowing America to drift further into decline and trying to make us accept mediocrity and become just like everyone else globally instead of being exceptional like America has been in the past. Its shameful what he has done.
We, the 1%, are your overlords. It does not matter if America is great. It is just a convenient location for our mansions. Your prototypical attitude shared by the 99% shows exactly how the masses are placated. There is no instance in history where a great power has ever risen after a major decline.
The world belongs to us, the 1%. Go back to your substandard school, your third world medical care, your declining standard of living, and continue to think happy thoughts.
Nice try, but if you had actually followed my posts here you would know that I am a 1%er. I am Jewish, ivy league educated, and self employed with my own business which makes bank
My sincerest apologies. You caught me off guard when you complained about Obama's passive stance. The Ivy league is excellence of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%. As long as we have it to ourselves, optimism is warranted. Selective infrastructure that maximizes GDP growth off the middle class tax base will ensure that our 40% share of GDP will expand to 60%. All praise to the GINI coefficient. Wealth concentration is a beautiful thing.
An Un-American President?
