I do not think you can pin point only one country as 'morally bankrupt', and by whose standards are you rating them?  Every country has its immorality, some in more areas than others.

Countries pay dues based on an assessment of their wealth.  The United States has the worst track record in terms making its payments.

Japan is the wealthiest, with a GDP of about $4.6 trillion, or $36,000 per person.  The poorest is East Timor, with a GDP of only $332 million.  (Those figures aren't exact, because there is a lot of variability in how the numbers are calculated).  The poorest on a per-capita basis is Myanmar, at $219/person.

yes, there is corruption in all governments at all levels and more so in some countries than in others. americans would rather believe thought that we have the most here but just take mexico for example, every time they get stopped for a traffic violation there has to be a bribe paid, and they get stopped alot. most other countries have very obvious corruption like venezuela, india, and many other third world countries.

The "untouchables", due to them owning our cash, are Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia.  The rest of the world is pretty much put on the list as "useful puppets" or "bugs not yet squished" (guess which list Britain is on).

Great is so vague and it depends on your preception of the word.  There are pros and cons to many countries, but I believe statistically, you will find that Norway and Switzerland come out on top as some of the 'greatest' countries in the world.  That is because they were rated on various positive attributes such as pollution level, crime, education, wealth, economy, healthcare, unemployment rate etc.  These are general quality of life type criteria.  Although there are some places in the US that receive high marks, the country in general, does not rank as highly.  Mostly because of the high crime, high pollution, healthcare system, etc.  So, I would guess that most people who say 'USA' immediately, have probably never traveled much outside of their country to look at it more objectively.

Because like every other country in the world, no matter how much abuse they give us (including North Korea) they all want our money, technology, and the ability to travel here, maybe even stay. The USA is the awful bully according to them, but where do they always run to for help? They have a disaster who do they expect the most aid from? I'm one of those people who think we should cut off the foreign aid until we have our own house in order, infrastructure, schools, taxes, healthcare, social security, etc. and when that is taken care of then we can choose to be generous.

Shameful compared to what countries.  Are you comparing the U.S. to Iraq where Saddam raped, tortured and murdered his countrymen.  To France where the average person pays 90% of thier income to taxes.  To the USSR where socialist dictators murdered millions of people over the course of just over 70 years and used summer camps to brainwash students to accept the status quo.  To Canada where it takes three months to get an emergency heart bypass. To the UK where the only people who have guns are criminals and you have to have a license for everything including your t.v. To the Germany of the thirties and forties when jews were discriminated against and eventually transported to concentration camps or the Germany of today where all children are required to attend government controlled schools.  I could go on but I think I have made my point.\n\nThe United States is in fact the Greatest Country in the World.

This is so easy, the most impoverished nation on the planet is Mozambique in Africa. \n\nIn my church they showed us a picture of a native and he was wearing two-liter coke bottles strapped to his feet for shoes....you should google Mozambique and write and essay on what life would be like living in that country versus the goold old US of A.

In most cases I would argue that the people in other contries are far worse off than then even the sick and homeless in developed nations but in the USA I would argue otherwise.  The reckless disragard for human needs displayed by big businesses and the government alike are creating a growing underclass of starving unemployed people which soon will eclipse those in other nations.\nDetroit has a statisticaly higher infant mortality rate than Ethiopia - how can this be right?\nThe USA is stupidly wealthy - waste and excess in levels beyond the contemplation of foriegn tyrants but almost all the wealth is concentrated in an emmerging super wealthy class of people while more and more normal people are disguarded as businesses move abroad for cheaper materials and cheap "slave" labour.\nAmericans need to unite as a people against the buinesses and corporations which are expanding the economy at the expense of the citezens.\n\n“the country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority, and so it remains" - Noam Chomsky\n\nLet Oceania, Europe, Japan, and other nations help Africa and Asia - America has to helpm it's own people before they end up in the same state!
