I resonate with all of this. It makes m crazy that many American's seem to hold these beliefs:

1. America is the best country in the wrold

2. All forms of regulatoin that make life easier/fairer for all citizens is socialism and a hreat

3. They are personally not well off due to immigrants, minorities, foreigners.

NO! I call our system extractive capitalism. It extracts natrual resources from the earth, extracts labor and money for citizens, to produce wealth for a minority with poolutoin as a byproduct.
