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.
It's disgusting that we do this.
