If anyone should be thankful they live in the USA, it's Martha. Why would she ever bad-mouth this country? She got what she has because she lives where she can grow and prosper on her own, without gov't. telling her how to do it. She went to jail because she lied and cheated on selling stocks. Just because someone else did it more than Martha did does not, in any way, excuse her actions. I hope she learned her lessons well, and I hope she has continued success without lying and cheating to get what she wants. Had I been the judge, she would have served five and five/years prison/parole-but that's just me.
The question then is this. It seems to me (cries at the back, don't be so pompous)- ahem, there is a phenomena out there.
The more successful some people are, the more great gifts their country has given them ie: fame, money,the adulation of the masses, the favour of lax enforcement on THEIR trangressions, the more they hate America.
For starters, Moore, Fonda, Baldwin, and so on. She could have joined em',got that cabal to rant on her behalf, but has too much class. IMHO
