A little constructive criticism, and you circle the wagons. Thats why 21st century america is a failure, you cant handle criticism.
I will have to comment on your statements about doing away with guns as the British managed to attempt to do. You people weren't dealing with a written Constitution when you did yours. Actually, none of those who have managed this were, either. Explain how you see what you said as the only way to go when a written part of our Constitution provides all those freedoms in writing.

So you are in favor of amending our Constitution in order to take away our guns. How easy will it be to take them up once that amending process takes place. Does your nation have a written constitution like the US does?

With the ushering in of neoliberalism, corporate globalization, and deregulation, America is not living up to its potential. We have an erosion of the middle class, reckless banking, scaling back on workers' right and safety nets, rising inequality, large segments of the population being left behind, and lower opportunity.

It is American liberals who want to strengthened and expand SS and Medicare, not attack them. As you said, other countries have adopted better health care policies. Liberals are not against learning from others and implementing these policies. We were in fact for a single payer or a PO, not a crummy recycled Republicans health care law.

American liberals are by and far disenfranchised and have been for decades (ever since Lying Bastard Johnson). Instead, Conservativism, neoliberalism, and center-right policies have dominated the American political landscape for the past three decades.
I see that Obama's class warfare has taken you in, too.

Face it. all your nation can do is steal and intimidate, riding high off reserve currency status. No longer.
And your age is what? You sound like you have had a heavy dose of progressive history crammed into your head. I wonder why you Brits were so happy to have the Americans send in all those troops to stage the attack on northern France back in 1943 and 1944. I don't think your government had been progressivized yet but maybe it is now.

How in hell do you steal things like you said without some complicity of the government being robbed? Yes, you have been taken in by progressive changes in historical writing.
