Laughable at best. The American middle and working classes have been suffering greatly. There's practically no freedom of speech in the US anymore, even online. The CIA is just another sword of Rome.

Exactly what I said. You have to make your own freedom in this world, economic freedom, freedom from crime, etc. The US appears to be a failed experiment in what is called "democracy" but in reality it has achieved all the aims of it's wealthy founders. It was a nation based on getting rich at anyone's expense and the prattle about it being fair was just prattle to keep "anyone" quiet while they were getting exploited to make another rich. What's laughable is the millions of people in the street looking up with pleading eyes to the government to give them job security and pension security and personal security. Like the government's lies about caring are to be taken at face value.

I don't live there but I don't vote, even though it's compulsory here [loopholes] and I take whatever I can from the government and give as little back as possible because I have no illusions myself as to their overbearing nature. If you play by their rules you'll be in the poor house before you know it.

The only difference now between the US and places like Venezuela is that in the US people still believe Rome will save them. In Venezuela the dirt poor have no such illusions.
