No, America overthrows governments, rebuilds them, gives them a deal where we can have some of their land for companies and take most of their resources. Our machines outdo their manual work, throwing them into poverty. This is why Cuba never went along this path. They are self sustaining because the U.S. could not intervene.
This is why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations.
yeah...exactly...the marriage between our government, which includes our military force, and corporate ambition. That is the most destructive leadership a country can adhere to. We are living it.
Corporations should not have our army backing their motivations. That's insane. And yes, of course they get paid to rebuild nations. It's no wonder.
Capitalism is not the enemy. I hear time in and out with close-minded liberals trying to blame "greed" and "capitalism" for these problems. First of all, there is not a single human or even organism on this earth not imbued with greed.
Greed doesn't cause the difference you observe. Nor do companies on their own. Their influence extends into what the founding fathers would've referred to as a "forbidden realm" however. The government, and our Constitution.
