Borat's anti-American screed

It's cute, and just what I expect from a sleazy Brit. But let's take the charges one by one:

"You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth."

Like Brian Fantana saying 60% of the time, it works every time. The math doesn't make any sense. He's saying 99% of the American people have no assets.

"You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes."

Taxes are going up. In NYC, real estate taxes are up 18%. This directly affects the rich. What would Borat know about American tax policy anyway?

"And bailing them out when they gamble and lose."

Lots of rich Americans lost their shirts in the subprime debacle. And for a Brit to make this charge is hilarious. The UK bailed out the Royal Bank of Scotland with $100B of taxpayer funds. Three thousand dollars for every UK taxpayer. Why doesn't Borat mention that?

"You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education."

A silly charge. Medicaid covers the poor. Obamacare expanded that coverage. Meanwhile Britain's NHS has nurses that won't wash their hands and staph infections that kill. The world's worst serial killer was an NHS doctor. The NHS allowed Jimmy Savile to come in and molest sick and disabled children.

"Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family."

You mean like the left-wing BBC, which is controlled by a bunch of neo-Marxist freaks in the British government? And which forces every TV watcher in Britain to support them with a license fee, even if these watchers still use rabbit ears or a coathanger for an antenna?

"You could wiretap phones."

News of the World scandal. Next!

"You could torture foreign prisoners."

Northern Ireland. The Maze prison where hooding and physical abuse was routine. That is if British death squads didn't kill them on the streets first. Next!

"You could have rigged elections."

The Brits don't elect their leaders. Their social betters do. You don't vote for a person, you vote for a party. Then the secret "prize" emerges. Talk about anti-democratic rigging.

"You could lie about why you go to war."

You mean like World War 1 (20m) dead where the Brits claimed they were fighting against tyranny when they were just trying to grab German colonies in Africa and Turkish colonies in the Middle East so they could expand their own brand of tyranny?

"You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain."

You commit crimes in America, you go to prison. Unlike in the UK, where James Bulger's killers were paroled after short prison sentences and given new identities and homes by the government. So they could go on the computer and download child porn.

"You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests."

Most Brits don't support open borders immigration. But Britain's left-wing media elite do. Now, what were you saying?
