The truth hurts, but if you accept it, it will set you free
Title couldn’t say it all.
“I don't know what word in the English language (I can't find one) that applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly overstuffed pockets.
The word "evil" doesn't begin to approach it.”

Please let us know when, and I quote, “The United States was the finest country in the history of the earth”, when exactly?
During the genocide and slavery days?
During the imperial expansion days,(Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines 🇵🇭, Hawaii, etc etc etc)
During Segregation?
Now with the largest economic gap between the haves (the so called 1%) and the rest of the people here and all over the world?
And please boast all you want if you like to do it.
Thank you.
When cultures collide and the fucked up failed culture loses, we call it colonialism. Bill Belichick always said it is what it is and that's why failures fail. Sorry you want to be one of the losers, but if you were truly smart, you'd stop trying since you're there already. In fairness I got killed gambling all day yesterday (excluding $300.00 win on the U.C.F. under and it ruined today's strip clubbing because after losing so much money I have to stop at the a.t.m. and get more.
I guess you are still under the influence of drugs and or alcohol, when you sober up, please answer the question, thank you: (and specifically when)

I am sure you are referring and romanticizing at the time in America known as the “gilded age”
“America's Gilded Age: Robber Barons and Captains of Industry
There was a time in U.S. history when the business magnates and titans of industry boasted more wealth than even today’s top technology innovators and visionaries.
During America’s Gilded Age — which spanned most of the latter half of the 19th century, from around 1870 to 1900 — the inflation-adjusted wealth and impact of America’s most towering figures far overshadowed what we see today.
The wealth of people like John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie would by today’s standards be measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars — far more than tech giants like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and even Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest individual in the world as of 2019.
Wealth so vast can often highlight the financial inequality of an era.
It’s this idea of grandeur in the face of unresolved social concerns that led Mark Twain to coin the phrase “Gilded Age” in his 1873 novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today.
The title suggested that the thin veneer of wealth for the elite masked broader issues for many in the lower and middle classes.”
This time covers the years you refer to 1885 -2008 and even afterwards; the wealthy elite of the late 19th century consisted of industrialists who amassed their fortunes as so-called robber barons and captains of industry, just as todays “entrepreneurs”, and con men, with Ponzi schemes and philanthropic organizations used to rob us all blind.
“More like 0.1% of regular ass humans (the founding fathers, the politicians, the religious leaders, the puppet presidents, the rich and powerful, etc etc) tricking the rest of us into fighting among ourselves while they rob us blind.”

You don’t have to be sorry, historical truth is a necessary cure to the hypocrisy and emotional denial of people that celebrates the power of the ruling elites in the present by deifying the ruling elites of the past.
Indigenous Genocide, Racialized Slavery,
Hyper-Capitalism, Militarist Imperialism, is the undeniable truth about America, and now you know it.
“ The truth will set you free yes, but first it will shatter your illusions.
Just remember it is never the truth that is painful.
It's the destruction of the falsehood you have become attached to and mistaken for truth.”
You are welcome.
