2. This is just another internet poll. In reality, Kerry would win....
about 75%+ of the whole vote.

3. Seems fair
We do bomb people. We do have trade policies that trump other governments. We do impose our economic system on everyone else. We do make Third World countries pay back a debt that they'll never, ever, ever, be able to pay back. We do install former CIA agents as head's of state.

Except that we're better than everyone. Chosen by God, Manifest Destiny, all the good stuff. We're such a quality democracy, that who outside of this country could truly appreciate such a dynamic political system? Look at Spain.

5. The world would vote to take
90 % of our wealth and spread it among everyone else if they were able to vote.

6. maybe we should be spreading
our wealth around more--to feed the poor all over the world and to treat the sick.

It would surely make the world a better place.

I would be willing to pay more taxes--I would rather help the world than accumulate wealth here.

7. For one thing it would no longer be America
I'll take our chances with trusting the American people to get things straightened out on their own. We created America to keep Europe out of our lives. Let's not have to go through that again.
