If you lived in a country where someone was jailed for failure to file taxes..If you lived in a country where "executive privilege" was a reason to hide policy decisions from its citizens that resulted in dead federal employees, due to guns run from its own agents..
If you lived in a country where the elected branch of government was continually engaged in political theatre, and nothing else..
If you lived in a country where the chief executive had broad powers - to exempt key fundraisers from any criminal prosecution (whats a couple $billion?), power to pass laws unilaterally, target drones on U.S. citizens in foreign countries on his say so, orchestrate more policies to stop life in its tracks by witholding care from aborted babies..
If you lived in a country where the rich stayed rich, the poor stayed poor, the vanishing middle class stood close to the edge of peasantry..
This used to be considered the definition of a "third world country". Now the politically correct term is "less developed"..
But - this is the US of A.
What has gone wrong with this picture. We have surely lost our way.
