So that makes China's the second best system of government in the world, right? Of course, if you look at per-capita GDP, we're 11th. And yes, our system of government allows for these things. It also allows for the highest incarceration rate in the world. That's not per-capita, we actually beat China at that. It also allows one of the greatest income disparities of any country in the first world (List of countries by income equality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), and one of the lowest life expectancies in the first world. We also don't generally win when it we measure happiness (OECD Better Life Index) or freedom(http://www.fraserinstitute.org/uploa...-the-world.pdf).

But yeah, who's counting?

Now get back under your bridge.

All to make the point that America may not have the best system of gov't. Thak you all for the entertainment.

It's more about dispelling the myth that America is the greatest.

Nice tap out.

But we're still the greatest. By far.
