Granted BP isn't ours but that's just a single industry, and the US butting it's head into other countries business allows corporate mongrels the ability to reap massive profits world wide. That's why the US dollar is the defacto currency world wide, because no one has the ability of the US industrial empire.
This is why I laugh when people think China will ever be top tog and take over the dollar's spot. They don't have the industry or the ability to back it world wide like the US does.
No one can, not the EU, not China, not Russia.. We are the mother fucking EMPIRE like it or not.

And yet these other countries do just fine and have less debt personal and governmental. hmmmm. The idea that we need our military todo business worldwide doesn't hold water. Japan is a huge industrial power and has almost no military. |
