Every Empire: the people pay for an Empire that benefits the Empirial Elite

Yes but they still had a net income gain. We only had loses. Mucho money going out, not a cent coming in. No, not even in Iraq. Only great big loses in both blood and treasure.

I am sorry but your attempt to paint the US as an empire is rejected based on reality.

So sorry.

Try again.

John Maynard Keynes.

You are basing your argument on writings of that economic illiterate? The guy who never got even one thing right?

Oh great googly moogly.

I have changed my mind, please do not try again. You are making me feel sorry for your complete lack of any knowledge in this area.

Keynes?

Why not just cite the great works of Marx?
