I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free

"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free..."

Lee Greenwood's semi-literate, whining song probably should be our national anthem.

I don't have health care, my wages have been stagnant ever since we got "a real man" in office in 1980, my kids have worse prospects than I did...

...but at least I know I'm free.

Talk about life in an era of diminishing expectations!

"America: Hey, it could be worse."

Let's put that on the money.

...free to die of treatable diseases...

The rest of us are forced to fight for what's left of the scraps.
