Imagine A Country --- 2006

So I didn't know what I should write my last to blogs about so I decided I would just flip to two different random points in the book and read those articles and state my opinion on them. So my first random pick landed me on page 329 with a article entitled ' Imagine A Country---2006'. It only took reading the first paragraph to realize that this article was about the United States and reading the second paragraph to realize there was going to be a lot of interesting information brought up regarding it. Economics, demographics, unemployment rates, national figures and lots more of interesting yet equally horrifying data was presented.
For instance, did you know that "In 2005, CEOs made 352 times the pay of average workers." That's not even the worst of some of these figures, it just shows how greedy and ignorant people are. It's just hard to digest when you want to believe you live in a country where people have freedom and equality and then you read data like this. The author would state a couple bad things then follow it by saying "It's not... Japan...England, etc" it was pretty obvious what was coming at the end... "It's not Russia, It's the United States."
Well, most of these statements are pretty appalling but all it is, is bad stuff. What I mean to say is obviously if someone rants on with five pages of how much of an ass someone is, then your probably going to be like wow that person is an ass. The author states a lot bad and some of the bad is just down right awful but, the author doesn't state any good to counteract the good. I'm willing to believe that someone could write an article of equal length pointing out the flaws of other countries and the benefits of living in the United States, or at least I hope they could. So basically, I agree that these facts are appalling and something needs to be done about them but also think that you're probably going to be worse off somewhere else.
