US: not the richest nation

Many people believe that the United States (US) is the richest nation in the world. The fact of the matter is that 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, but almost 40 million Americans live in poverty today, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck.

This is so, because the US is the champion of imperialism. US Major General Smedley Butler exposed that in his 1935 book, WAR IS A RACKET. He described how the US uses wars to benefit its corporations. That means that US soldiers die in wars of choice, like in Iran, only so that the rich can become richer. 

You must also remember that the US created its settler colonial state by committing genocide against the indigenous people of North America. How much more contempt for human rights can a nation have? 

The US Empire has consistently refused to comply with 43 United Nations resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico's sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. 6 million Puerto Ricans, thus far, have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and almost half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico also live in poverty. Bad Bunny made reference to Puerto Rico's colonial relationship with the US in his Super Bowl Halftime Show, which is the real reason why President Trump hated it!

China, however, has eradicated poverty, despite having 11 trillion dollars less than the US, and having 4 times the US' population. Over 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their one party communist political system, which means that a real democracy needs a government strong enough to prevent oligarchs from running the nation. 

The US' "democracy" for the few!
