   American public schools are the envy of most of the world. I studied in dumpy public schools and I know I got a better education than my friends who studied in elite Mexican private schools.I love public libraries.. give me those before Barnes&Noble any day. The public library in my mom’s rust belt pop. 20,000 hometown is better than any library I have seen in my adopted hometown of Monterrey, Mex. And Americans, even the poorest, are far better nourished than say, Cubans.I do believe in reforming health care and I am not defender of elitism, but the US isn’t full of suffering poor if you have any sense of global relativity.

   Plan to ‘kill all Americans’? WTF? COmic hyperbole is one thing, that is another. I think Rall is harsher on Obama than he was on Bush.

   The Nazis felt that the Jews were invaders who were economically exploiting their country and polluting its culture. (Heard any similar arguments about Latino immigrants?)

   The minute the Nazis came into power they didn’t just start killing Jews. Little by little they turned up the heat on the ‘invaders’ until they were slaughtering them.

   I know our country will never get to that point, but I wonder if laws like this one aren’t a step towards Hispanic-Americans having to wear badges to avoid police harassment or undocumented workers being forced into an even more clandestine and dangerous condition just to be able to feed their families.

   a huge missed point:

   Wall Street is immensely powerful and represents the most well-off people in the world.

   Labor, while not exactly an admirable institution, has quite limited influence in our country and, at least in theory, represents the interests of the working class.

   All of te largest economies in the world carry enourmous amounts of debt http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ecodebext_percap-economy-debt-external-per-capita

   Most major companies also take on a lot of debt.

   I dont see what that proves.

   Why is it OK to run huge deficits to build bombs and finance Latin American death squads but it’s not OK to do so to cure sick people?

   Rall won’t be happy until we elect Noam Chomsky president.

   Obama has done more for the American people than any president in my short lifetime.
