Land of the Free ?

I am not an American, but I feel sad that USA is going down. Selfish capitalism (or should I say corporatism and plutocracy?), greed for money, fame and power, endless wars and military involvements everywhere, and its ever-increasing heavy debts  - all these led to its decline. 
..........................................................................................................
American capitalism works wonderfully for the 1% but fails terribly for the 99%.The recent shut down of the U.S.Government is so crazy and ridiculous. 
..........................................................................................................
Uncle Sam spies on everyone: friends and enemies, American citizens and citizens of the whole world, foreign leaders, embassies, countries, organizations, companies, individuals, EU, even UN, I mean everyone.
..........................................................................................................
Now think about the global image of Uncle Sam in the world. Sad to say that USA no longer brings respect and admiration from the world, not even from its own citizens. Looks like America is no longer Land of the Free. Please take care !!!

  1. Money, Power and Fame are not necessarily bad things by themselves, but greed and addiction for them often leads to much corruption and all kinds of unethical, unlawful and illegal means and activities.
    Uncle Sam is not the only offender, but a big offender.
