Our Bankrupt American Empire

WHAT YOU FRIENDS OF AMERICA  around the world need to understand about america, is that america was an empire (British Empire) from the very beginning, got used to it, liked it, and decided to remain an empire. the government in london never encouraged westward expansion of her american colonies, and at one point actually prohibited it.

but the urge for expansion was always latent in american culture, and when the british empire was kicked out of america, americans promptly proceeded with the creation of their own empire, the american empire.

over the eastern mountains they went, into kentucky, ohio, and tennessee, then all the way to the ocean, stealing half of mexico in the process, and starting a few wars to justify conquest and empirial expansion.

fast forward a few years to two thousand and twelve, and the american empire consists of twelve aircraft carriers, an assortment of nuclear warheads and delivery systems, hundreds of military bases in a hundred countries, and tremendous diplomatic and military power anong the mations of the world, which she uses, shall we say, "liberally".

the american people have long been trained by their wealthy and powerful masters to embrace all this. the training has been intense, because the cause is hard to sell; to control much of the world for the benefit of america's wealthy ruling class, at the cost of millions of lives, and a depressed standard of living , education, and health care for the teeming masses in america her sweet self.

america's per capita standard of living is, what, nineteenth in the world, if still that high? in education she ranks, what.....nineteenth?  health care, longevity......not in the top ten.

but by god we americans still have our global empire, with our twelve aircraft carriers - and don't get me wrong, I love aircraft carriers, doesnt everybody - and our thriving corporate class.

the only problem is that we (america) is hopelessly bankrupt, and will soon lose our empire - one way or another.

like the rock song says "better put your kingdom up for sale". the chinese might be interested...
