An American and a Soviet Russian were discussing the benefits of each country. The American says “I like America because if I don’t like the way things are going, I can walk into the White House, go up to the president’s desk, and say ‘Mr. President, I don’t like the way you’re running this country’ The Russian says “It’s the same in the USSR! If I don’t like the way things are going, I can go to the Kremlin Presidium, walk right up to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and say ‘Members of the Presidium, I do not like the way that the American president is running his country'”
