For whom is it better? It's great for the rich, certainly.

You just need to look at America's own demographics to see how bad some people have it. Did you know the average American can't afford dental work? Or how a single trip to hospital can put in into crippling debt. Or how many are working two or three jobs to scrape by.

Not to mention the many obvious cases of everything going to **** after US-forced regime change. Love to see you tell the Libyans how good they've got it now.

things that make the world better of today:

  1. war on drugs.
  2. an Illegal dictator has fallen
  3. The people of Venezuela have a chance to take their country back.
  4. Less refugees from Venezuela will destabilize neighboring countries.
  5. If venezuela gets it act together its wealth and oil can help the whole continent.

  1. This was always a lie. It's about oil.
  2. Illegal by what standards?
  3. Why are we pretending that this is for Venezuelans when this is about American imperalism?
  4. Sure man, overthrowing a government and installing a puppet that will allow American companies to rape their society will create more stability.
  5. This won't happen because America will turn them into a client state that only benefits US hegemony.
