Political/Government General Discussion / Re: Is it moral for our governments to impose poverty on us?
« Last post by Mike Cl on Today at 05:01:11 PM »I was not so much thinking Trump and see him as a pimple on the U.S. ass that will soon be squeezed out.It seems to me that since 9-11, the US has become a country that loves being the victim and has become more cowardly. That attack could have been used for good in that something like people from 80 countries were killed--not just Americans. We could have reached out and formed an effective coalition to combat and contain those countries that were engaging in terrorism. Instead, Bush turned it into making Cheney (and himself) rich and served the needs of the corporations of the US, not the people of the US nor of the world. For about 10 yrs after the attack I became so very tired of hearing 'Aren't you afraid?!' No, I was not ever 'afraid'. But I was pissed. When Bush told us he was going after the perpetrator of the attack, I was 100% behind that action. Then he let him go and attacked Iraq, who had nothing to do with that attack--but they had oil. The corporations were happy. Then the repubs used fear and lies to lead us around by the nose.
I was thinking more of the people and your Congress and Senate.
From the end of WWII, American have warred almost continually to push democracy, which is nice, but they included their toxic form of capitalism.
