Wealthy nations like the US didn't "take" the wealth from somewhere else - it never even existed before. It was created by the minds of human beings.

This is at the heart of liberal economic idiocy and it's maddening. It's as if they believe that there's one big pile of money somewhere and the rich are able to get there with their wheelbarrows first, to the great harm of the poor. It's asinine. But, they really do believe that whatever I have had to have been pilfered from someone else. My prosperity = another's poverty. Idiots.

Liberals also view almost all commercial transactions as coerced. That the seller is in some way cheating the buyer. What they don’t understand is that there is a differential in how buyers & sellers value a product, and that when trade occurs, both sides benefit and overall wealth increases.
