Actor Jackie Chan calls U.S. ‘most corrupt’ country in the world

49. "Most corrupt country in the world" is probably stretching it,

but other than that, he's right. Compared to our neighbors to the north at least, the US of A has a laundry list of problems.

I can think of some things right off the bat: the Patriot Act, the Drug War, most of our media is consolidated and has a conservative slant, gays are still treated as 2nd-class citizens in many states, a political party that has been Hell-bent on keeping top tax rates low, money in politics allows the agendas of a select few to be advertised over those of the common man, health care is treated as a privilege rather than a right, lobbyists here care more about protecting guns than curbing violence, and most Congressional districts have been gerrymandered like crazy.
With Canada I heard they have legalized weed, single-payer health care, stricter gun laws and much lower gun deaths, and they have a law against lying on broadcast news. IDK about everyone else, but that sounds good to me.
