The REASON we have such a strong economy and so much power, is because we purposely keep everyone else under our foot....so that makes us wonderful?

Imagine our country like a street car. If you had the fastest car on the street, and most of the money (and power) that's available for performance parts, you are going to want to stay like that. One way to stay that way, is to keep the best products unavailable to your competition out there. So some weak, uneducated, poor guy gets his own business going that could possibly create better products than what your car has.....if you had the power to either buy him out, or to crush him financially you know damn well you would. That's what America does....but we have the resources to also send supplies and help to other countries when we want to, so we always look like the "good guys."

I'm no anti-American or anything like that, but do not be fooled into thinking the US is any less corrupt nor anymore "deserving" of what we have.

We have a propaganda machine here that even Hitler would be jealous of.
That why we are bowing to the Europeans and Middle Easterners?

That why we run a trade deficit with China?

Is that why we allow millions of Illegal Immigrants to stay within our borders to work?

Guess i missed a bunch of stuff over the last 10 years
