The Wealthiest Nation ?
Franklin , Tennessee - It amuses me every time someone says , " America is the wealthiest nation on earth. " Let's look at the facts here. Today , Americans are losing their homes in record numbers , American's can not afford a home in record numbers , America's Wall Street is on life support , Williamson County's Rescue Squad has to solicit donations in this country's 15th richest county , and while presidential hopeful Fred Thompson preaches Prosperity , President Bush has run this country 10 Trillion dollars into the ground.
Did you know , in America , when a person qualifies for Social Security , they have to wait 2 1/2 years for their first check ?
Did you know , countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia give their people a yearly check of 80,000 dollars US ? Did you know those countries also pay their college costs ?
Now THAT's a wealthy country !
