Simple question: How can the richest country...
in the history of mankind…a country with such a vast history of exploitation not only in its own land and hemisphere (slavery and the Monroe Doctrine) but around the entire world, using our markets and power to insure that every weaker nation must exploit its own people, assassinating/deposing leaders when they become inconvenient, imposing leaders when needed…
how does such a country claim to being “ripped off”…”cheated”…”short changed”?
when all of the money, all of the power, all of the assets are held by a handful of families that truly live the lives of Roman gods (except for that immortality bit…you are still wet mushy meat-sacks like the rest of us) while the rest of us have to skip meals to pay for insulin or asthma inhalers or vaccines.
isn’t it fuckin’ obvious who is really ripping you off?
