Quit arguing "subjective" points and talk about "objective" facts.
Let's get "objective" - it's all about money and who owns all your favorite "things that are useful to you". Not the US.

Also.. the US population - (forgive me being a "little housewife" again!) - is around 5% of the world's population.

The "objective fact" is the US is owned to a large degree by other nations and is indebted to them to the tune of $44,200 billion - or was up to last year and is definately much more now. The equation was that this amounted to 94% of all US homes and assets within them. By now, I'd reckon every homeowner in the US is technically bankrupt to the outide world.

I sure hope your claim to 50% of the world's income is remotely accurate, since it would need to be within that region
else some lenders will need to go to the toilet kinda quick!

On the companies you mention - they are not "US owned" - what gives you that idea?? Some were originated in the US. VISA is not a US owned entity - it is owned by the 6 or 8 global banking regions. Paypal is "owned" by their bankers - and who are they?? Guess!! Who is going to "own" the largest segment of Google?? Guess!!

Hell.. bottom line?? Who "owns" the US?? Guess!! And each day that passes they own more of it and often have a desire to own less of it!
