Comment: If that's true, then Americans are also the scum of the earth.

Americans are currently the ones who export the most economic terrorism throughout the world. Americans have invaded more countries in the last few decades than perhaps all other nations combined. Americans are the ones killing people in other countries with drone strikes. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Or is it more accurately a corrupt government in America that is committing these crimes?

Judging a people group by the actions of their government is pure ignorance if you ask me. There's always going to be bad and good apples in any nationality. The goal is to keep the bad apples from taking power.

In addition to teaching us about liberty and freedom, Dr. Paul has also taught us about respect and decency. Those last two are attributes that many on this site could stand to grow in.
