The tragedy is that Americans don't realize that most of their money goes to perpetuating the whole system. Car companies, military contractors, oil companies, corporations of all kinds are constantly sucking up that wealth and giving nothing back...except for propaganda against the government that might slow them down.

And so on it goes. If you don't feel rich living in the USA, it's because there are others taking your wealth invisibly. Corporations. Always there. Always taking. Controlling the whole system while their CEOs and employees live like better or worse fed parasites on the backs of giant beasts.

So the rest of the world sees the USA as an evil wealth sucking menace because it absolutely is. But only a tiny percent of humans in the USA are getting the benefits. And they love it. And the one thing that could stop them...the government...is kept from doing anything about it by the brainwashed voters contributing to the whole system. It is astonishing to watch from the outside.
