Do you remember the old stigma of bankers being crooks and all-around rat bastards?
Well, it's because they would sell loans and other financing options to the common man, be it a farmer or factory worker, with strange 'adjustable' interest, that is, adjustable at the Banks discretion. So, as the client worked his ass off to pay back the loan, it would just keep getting bigger and bigger as the interest compounded continuously. Jeeze those rat bastards! Keeping the lower class at a level to just keep their heads above water, but never being able to get ahead.
Good thing times have changed.
Now week take the classest ideal that kept poor Americans down and export them.
Now Americans are more free than ever!
INSTEAD, American corporations move into foreign countries and employ the populas. That's great! They should be thanking us for such work! Some catches though, we don't pay a living wage, and love how quickly those little kids can sew footballs.
"Well, if they don't like it, they don't have to work there!"
Oh, i totally agree, but, unfortunatly, the American corporation has bought and shut down all competetors in the area.
"Okay, okay, so we have evil corporations, that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with America's foriegn policy!"
Oh, but i think it does. You see, North Korea wouldn't let us open shop there, imagin that, the local government there knew it would be bad for their economy given American corporate tactics... And the 'NO' resounded in the halls of Congress... Well now, we can't have that, so (Pre Korian war, mind you) we financed a revolution and instated a dictator that would save them from the opressive democracy Korea already had. Now we opened shop! All right! Free enterprise with no coersian what so ever! America the beautiful... Oh, but, wait... ten years later or so, the people of N. Korea thought comunism might benefit them.... we'll never know, because american armies moved in and crushed the American established government.
So, we set 'em up, and knock 'em down.
We do this in over 120 countries.
Why in the world don't people like us? I mean I love the bank that wrongfully repossesed my home, bought my office, cut my wages, and rased my rents, don't you?
