    Yeah, in addition to having a super-endowment of natural resources, remember that we also stole the labor of about 20 generations of Africans to help turn that into wealth.

        Of course! The part that Americans don’t want to hear is that we are wealthy because of that theft of labor. It’s not just an immoral peccadillo of our ancestors.
