You damn right!!! The world is what it is because of US! Pun intended. If America is not special then why do people throng to be here? They have a chance to live in Mexico before they come here. I’ve been there many a time and most people there live much as we do here, they’re a little bit freer than most of us, but still a nice place to live. Why go straight past all of the Americans retiring there to come here???
I have a theory…. the big tit. People the world over want to come here for an easy life, we’re famous for it. When thousands of Americans are taking their fortunes and going to beaches all over the world to get out of here or have a better life with what money they have the world is striving to get in here. Why not? You live in some other country and next thing you know a bunch of Americans start showing up throwing money at your life and you say, “what is this, who does such things”? Over the past 20 years it’s taken place all over the globe, told millions of people that this is what they want.
The main problem I see with this is that it’s not free, nor is it easy. Especially now with all of the burden our parents left us. Debt. Very little wealth creation, only money expansion. Too many old people hoarding everything, time, money, knowledge, help. Americans are so wealthy that the poorest of our people, the mentally unstable homeless person living on the streets of San Francisco has more the most anybody in the world. Don’t believe me go and take a look at what the different heads of state get paid a year. The average American makes more each year than at least 25 of the world’s LEADERS! As the average American you make too much to run a country, and you’re not 1 in a million like him, you’re 1 of millions. If you don’t think that makes you special, I don’t know what will. Special means set apart or different. That description above surely relates that to me. The problem, I think is that when you’re 1 of millions, it’s hard to see but mark my words, they’re coming here in droves because you are famous! and special!
This country is famous for a lot of things, let me make few observations. If the US was like any other country in the world the that has ever existed the world would look completely different. Instead of the EU (European Union) it would be the EU of A. Germany would be a US territory, Italy would be a US state, Japan would be a US state, all of the Pacific Islands would be US states, Spain would be a US state along with Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Denmark, Finland, Manchuria, Burma, Thailand, Iraq, Albania, Serbia, Cambodia, Philippines, Laos, Vietnam and parts of the countries of France, Mongolia and Greece. “To the victor go the spoils” was the world mantra until the US arrived upon the scene and became the dominant force. Not only did we conquer nations and give them back, we paid for their reparations! Tell me that doesn’t make one famous or special.
We’ve always until recently made the best things. This certainly make one famous and special. Why else would anyone pay that kind of money for shoes? Not only did we make the best things but the most of them! Now for those of you that would argue that Germans or Japanese have always made the best cars, I say this, “which is better 10 thousand or 10 million?” Before other makers made cars here, no one could do what the Big 4 did here. If you would have tried to expand the German auto manufacturing to accommodate, the entire country would be at work making cars and still fall short. This would be like saying that every single person in Michigan works at making cars. Ok, easy enough to imagine but only because everybody in WV is digging coal, everybody in Utah digging ore, everybody in PA making steel. Get the picture, if I make a few, I need it to be so fine that only the elite can have it. Then only the elite have it, no one else cares. When I make a million of them they need to highly functional but not so special. We’re famous for functional and that is special.
We used to be famous for getting shit done!!! We did more than anyone in the world until recently. Problem is today we don’t really do anything worth a shit anymore. Of the top 25 companies on the Fortune 500 today only 7 actually make stuff and most of them don’t make it here! Three are petrol companies this is good because the world runs on corn and diesel. Two are auto manufacturers, that’s good because there’s something of tangible value. I’ll give AT&T and Kroger a pass because they add value to all the thins we do. But the rest are pharma or pharma support (insurance, etc.) nothing tangible made here. If all of the illegal drugs that they use to make their products was to made legal they would all crumble in a few days. If Ford or GM sells me a car, regardless of what happens I have something of value. This is wealth, this is what we’re famous for and it makes us all special.
These are just a few examples of why America and it’s American’s are special!! Choose to live up to the reputation, go out and be special, make and collect wealth so you too can retire on a beach in some foreign country and make us even more famous!!
Have a great day,
