i watch survivor with my parents and even on survivor there are contestants who mention theres no safety net in america - the richest country on earth

i am against any system which concentrates power excessively including capitalism and its predecessors
The reason we're the wealthiest nation is because a person can come here with nothing and build a comfortable life. The day they can't is the day everything falls apart.

No chief, we didn't become the wealthiest nation because of that. As a matter of fact in the late 1800's we weren't the wealthiest nation. Per capita Argentina was. The most powerful country at that point was Great Britain. Argentina lost it becoming socialist. Learn your history instead of always looking for a way to slam the U.S.

America's real claim to riches was loaning most of the equipment and capital to the allies, at massive interest rates, during and after WWI & WWII.

After the war, the United States used Operation Paperclip to recruit, coerce, extort and force 1,600 NAZI scientists (especially physicists,) to secretly come to America and build the nuclear weapons program.

Once our nuclear program was a success, it was a no brainer to use the nuclear arsenal to extort massive sums of money from half the world, during the cold war.

Oh yeah, says the Zoomer and late model Millennial. The Cold War! We forgot about that...

Oppenheimer was not part of operation paper clip, he was an American. And the Soviets grabbed Nazi scientists as well. Oppenheimer worked on the Manhattan project, which developed the first atomic bombs.

I see several unsubstantiated and implausible claims. Care to cite your sources, rickyb?
