Ok, here's one:


America is following the path of Rome. Rome fell due to a variety of factors, like inflation, low moral standards, unemployment, and ineffective government. We are already seeing evidence, if not full-fledged proof, of the preceding problems in America today. We need to get off the road towards destruction if we do not want to go the way of Rome.
Inflation is a major problem in America today. Economic competition from Asia, especially China, has created a dangerous, unsustainable consumer economy based on cheap credit. We experienced that not too long ago when the housing “bubble” burst. Rome experienced the exact same thing. Romans bought expensive merchandise from other countries, which caused a decrease of Roman currency in circulation. To compensate, the Roman government printed more money, which decreased the value of said money, which had disastrous effects on the already stagnant Roman economy. Our government is doing the exact same thing by printing more money.
Moral standards are at an all-time low in America. Prostitution and crime are rampant, and continue to spread, just as they did in Rome. The media and television glamorize dangerous activities and lifestyles like binge drinking and promiscuity. The government happily gives drug-addicted bums and prostitutes handouts, freshly taken from the wallets of hardworking, law-abiding citizens. Anyone who opposes the practice of giving money to people who do not deserve it are immediately gunned down, branded as “intolerant”. The media no longer faithfully reports the news; they seek the “scoop” for the almighty dollar. Is this a description of Rome or America? Or both?
Unemployment in America is around ten percent across the board, reaching close to fifteen percent in certain cities. Without work, people need to be propped up by the government, whose money ultimately comes from those with jobs. The unemployment rate in America is so high because we are under economic attack from China and other countries with cheap labor. Employment is suffering a three-pronged attack. Countries with cheap labor roll out the welcome mat for shady, greedy multinational corporations. Illegal immigrants take jobs (and taxpayer money) that rightfully belongs to Americans. To top it off, greedy labor unions keep demanding more and more from American companies already struggling to compete with Asia. Rome’s unemployment problem had different causes, but it is still the same problem.
Our American government does not work. Conservatives and liberals spend a lot more time fighting for power than actually solving any problems. Our Constitution is sound, just as Rome’s democratic system was sound when it was created. However, democracy does not work when it is bypassed. Rome’s upper class bypassed the democratic system (and the will of the people) by eliminating the democratic system and establishing a monarchy. Our democratic system is under attack from the courts. Both sides use corrupt judges and back-door technicalities to push their agenda and override the will of the people. The attack on the American system may be different from the attack on the Roman system, but it has the same objective: Bypass the will of the people.
America is following the same path as Rome. Our economy is being hampered by inflation, just like Rome. Our moral standards are downright pitiful, just like Rome. We have a major unemployment problem, just like Rome. Our government is not protecting us, just like Rome. It is the same story as Rome, just paraphrased and with a different cover.
