General Discussion

It is surprising how many times the US backed large corporations against workers getting unions and better pay going back for decades. We backed these corporations with troops and coups. A google search will open your eyes to things we were never taught in school about how we backed the rich against the poor. All these years later we wonder why so many people want to leave their country for here. In many respects we actively helped keep many people in poverty. If we had allowed the people of those countries to earn enough to have a living wage by now they would have an active middle class and found their own countries to have a promising future for themselves and their children. Immigration would not be an issue today.
