I was under the impression that the US attitude to private gun ownership underlying reasoning was one of - who would dare invade a country whose citizens are armed to the teeth with firearms?
and btw paying taxes isnt a form of communism its called society! LOL
which is the impression I get from such trojan horses of cultural imperialism as pay tv ie fox news in particular (ironically owned by a sort of aussie), i'll never forget bill o'reilly with frothy venomous spittle coming off his chin saying something about 'why should my taxes (money) pay for your sick (and dying?) child - in a rant on that vile form of communism - medicare. scary stuff to an aussie lol sometimes we are closer to the english (mother country after all) than a new world/wild west/frontier frame of mind)
please dont take this as anti-US, it isnt, and i'm not, there is very much more to admire and love about the US of course - just an observation on one single aspect of an, obviously, very complex and ultra successful society/country/superpower
