Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.

Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.

18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

    We give around a billion a year to Israel because after they pay for universal healthcare and free tuition for college they don’t have enough to buy a bunch of shit from our “defense” manufacturing industry…

    America has been full blown capitalist for decades now, our government cares more about corporation’s profits than the well being of Americans.

      You mean we give them money so they can buy from stuff from our military industrial complex? Basically meaning that we give money to companies that make weapons and tons of money? The same kind of corporations that use said money to lobby Congress for things that favor them? You’re definitely right that our government cares more about corporations profits than us.
