Author's Note- This was a paragraph in response to the patriot's pen essay writing contest question.
Are you proud of your country? That is tough question. Of course we are a free country and we have great rights and all that, I know, but with our current economy, I would have to say no. Nobody cares about the people anymore. It's all about money. The leaders in our country are making bad decisions. I don’t know much about politics, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that our economy is going down the toilet! So I would have to say that, in this current state, I am not proud of my country.
