US here, I love the country, but I'm worried about what is happening to it. My biggest concerns are:
Major tax cut that affects mainly the rich during an economic recession.
Special-interest groups having too much of a say in the government.
New laws approaching and pushing at the boundaries of acceptable limits on civil liberties.
The narrowing of the separation of church and state. ex: AIDS relief funding only goes to countries without abortion rights and services, forcing schools to adopt abstinence-only education that will cause much more harm than good.
The corruption of free trade and the warping of NAFTA to prevent tarrifs on exported goods but allowing them to be placed on imports from Canada and Mexico.
The favoritism of the rich and the special treatment of corporate executives who screwed millions of people out of their savings and retirement funds.
The preference of punishment over rehabilitation in regard to drugs.
