A company loves misery

: Putting America's interests first and helping other countries are not mutually exclusive items, in most cases. I think history has taught America that our welfare is affected, to a certain extent, by the welfare of others. But America's primary responsibility is to look out for America.

That doesn't make sense unless you mean the ruling class primarily looks out for itself. The interests of Americans (i.e. citizens) are different from those of their masters on Wall Street. Look no further than the stock market for proof of this. When corporations cut thousands of jobs, their stock prices go up. A company loves misery.

: And hey, don't knock the ruling cabal; I hope to someday be part of that ruling cabal, thank you very much!

You're welcome. And thank you for not denying its existence, as so many capitalists do.
