Just more Glenn Beck garbage. What's right with America? How about the way we educate our children. Then he goes on talking about Universities. Those aren't children numbnuts. Our children are found to be significantly less educated and do worse on testing as compared to those in countries like India. People aren't fleeing their countries because our world class Universities are among the best, it's because our economy is name brand driven. You want a job in the world's largest economy? It helps to have a degree from a popularly named school. What's right with America? Our world-class universities don't require you to have an elite family name or Rockefeller-type wealth to get in... But it helps. You can certainly by your way into any college despite your scoring. Oh and guess what, you don't have to have any of that to get into a lot of the other schools around the world. Have known a few people who have gone to study in the UK without having to be rich or knowing somebody. What's right with America? How about the way we treat the less fortunate? With no help from our government, Americans gave a record $306 billion to charities last year alone. We give twice as much as the next closest country and, relative to the size of our economies, we give 1,000 percent more than the French. What he won't mention is that our crime and poverty rates are higher than a country like France. Our poverty rate is about twice what it is in France and our crime rate is almost 7x what it is there. Maybe we have to give more because we need to. That's not a good thing. What's right with America? It's not just the wealthy who are generous. Two-thirds of American families making under $100,000 a year give to charity. Compassion is ingrained in our culture like no other. While I disagree that most give because they are compassionate, I think any giving when someone can to the right cause is a good thing. What's right with America? How about our supposedly third-world health care system? He says come on guys everyone has problems. You'll notice he never says ours is better than the others listed just that we spend more. What's right with America? We love our country So do I, but have you looked around lately. I hope Americans are putting at least some thought behind why they love America, because there's a large number of things to not love especially when it comes to our nation's leaders and representatives.
