Imagine if China had 9,000,000 people in prison, this is proportionally about the same amount of people in prison based on population. Or India had 9,000,000 people locked away. You'd never hear the end of it from the US government, they'd be screaming civil rights abuse at every opportunity.
Quite frankly this is a civil rights abuse, you incarcerate people at about ten times the rate which truly civilized countries do.
The private prison system, and the tens if not hundreds of millions being spent by lobbyists trying to profit from your laws is the main reason why... I really don't understand how you allow lobbyists in the first place, it's basically corruption.
I could carry on about your war mongering ways, your health system and drug companies, and even how an obviously dishonest person like Hillary Clinton will soon be POTUS.
But I'd probably be branded as someone who hates you guys, and I sincerely do not. But seriously, your once great country is morally bankrupt. *end rant*
