Emotions don't change the facts. We all know the cliché—America, the land of "unlimited opportunities" and the original "gold rush. And sure, facts are facts: until about a decade ago, the United States was the industrial heart of the planet, the birthplace of the world's most aggressive private companies, and the place where everyone has a relative living the dream. Even today, countries worldwide keep their gold reserves there, banking on that old-school "security." However, when you examine the situation without the influence of Hollywood and the media, which is arguably the most effective in the industry, the reality becomes much more unsettling. Who is truly in control? The irony begins at the very foundation. The founders of the US Constitution—the guys writing about "freedom and equality"—were, for the most part, slave owners. This double game hasn’t stopped; it just evolved. On the global stage, the US plays the "world’s policeman," but only when it suits the agenda. They slap sanctions on nations without a mandate from the international community, using hunger as a weapon instead of missiles (remember the Kissinger Memorandum?).
Parasite or Leader? The whole political system feels like a closed loop:
Lobbyists and massive corporations bankroll political campaigns.
Once elected, these politicians reciprocate by injecting billions into the same companies through a bloated military-industrial complex.
It’s essentially a massive drain on the average taxpayer. While politicians are busy fighting "forever wars" under the guise of "fixing" other nations, their borders are leaking narcotics, and over 80% of the population is drowning in the American debt culture. Is it appropriate to describe a nation as "prosperous" when its citizens primarily hold debts rather than assets?
