            About a third of American wealth and debt are held by foreign entities. So in large part, yes. Where are you from, that is without sin (besides, clearly, judgment)? I would like to move there.

              Individual income taxes account for $2.66 T or 51.8% of the US revenue. Social Security and Medicare taxes make up another 33%.

              Lol, always the same attempt at whataboutism. Rest assured I think little of my country either.

        I don’t agree with nor represent my government, and if you made any effort to actually read news or stories that aren’t sensational headlines you would know that this country feels massive disapproval towards our government.

        If you can’t stand the bloodthirsty morons who call themselves patriots, congratulations, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the country shares your feelings.
