:::*the last example is not cognitive dissonance. First of all, people who "rail against America and its government" don't believe that they ''are'' "reaping all the benefits of freedom and capitalism". Additionally, if someone doesn't like the government, the answer isn't simply to move out. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 14:14, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

:::: Just because someone doesn't "believe" they are reaping benefits doesn't mean they actually aren't. Also, telling those people to move out is a good idea - but they rarely do (and the fact they don't move out is actually a good sign that this '''is''' a form of cognitive dissonance). --[[User:DRamon|DRamon]] 14:32, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

:::::It's ''not'' cognitive dissonance to want the country to be improved while you are living in the country. If someone moved to Canada, how exactly are they to improve the United States? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 14:48, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
