    Lol. You’re conflating the MIC and multi-national corporate profits with the growth of the middle class domestically? You’ll need some sauce for your crazy ass theory. Let me know how the United Fruit Company contributed to the growth of the middle class. Did the UFC share their profits with the middle class?

      TIL trickle down economics is when you do massive military spending and use it to open up new markets in the third world to private interests and then meddle in those countries’ politics constantly to keep them underdeveloped neocolonies

      bruh please tell me how you think the middle class in the first world was created. Did they all just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
