No Vacation Time Mandate by Employer
No Free Healthcare 1776-2013
The Pledge of Allegiance
Low Minimum Wage
No Pay Maternity Leave
The US Military provides all of that to their members. Most unions do I imagine. Federal civilian employees do. I'm guessing Walmart doesn't and such like them.
What is your point btw? Is that "native American"? South American? North American? Central American? African-American? Mexican-American? Who?
What has the Pledge to do with this? Where is it mandatory to recite the Pledge?
I am NOT ashamed at being a citizen of the United States of America. I am more ashamed of our "leadership" and the terrible lack of ethics. Our current regime is selective on the laws it will enforce such as immigration law. You won't find a more generous population on the planet than US "Americans".

The average American is a good and upright person...but they are embarrassed because of the poor reputation America has abroad. Recently I hopped on a street car in Toronto...I met and older woman...who was with her daughter and grand daughter...They were three generations of Texans ....wonderful friendly people.. as we got to the core of the city we all went down into the subway and stood on the platform chatting....a stranger approached the older Texan and asked for directions. I interjected and said..."They don't know- they are American tourists".....
The look I got from the grandmother clearly said - Why did you tell her that....She was embarrassed to be identified as an American. I really did not understand why she would be...They were intelligent attractive people....I do have one regret about that short meeting....The daughter was very warm and friendly...She was also the classic Texas beauty and single...
