And it's sooo typical of their hyper-inflated personal and national egos:
They didn't wonder for one minute why on earth foreign companies would pay up. For the honor or doing business with the greatest country on earth tm? Because they'd have no choice of other buyers, since no other countries has car / computer / whatever manufacturers who'd buy their products instead?
They. Are. So. Fucking. Insular.
They being Americans?
There was another post about how Americans unfairly generalize Russians (or others) for the things their country does, and how hypocritical it is, implying we would get defensive. Well here I am, an American, reacting to my people being generalized:
Nods
Agrees
We are like that, and did this to ourselves.
It's not just Americans, remember the Brexiteers realizing that due to Brexit, they need a visa for their Spanish holiday, and they have to stand in the "rest of the world" line?
We will see a bunch of "this is not the Brexit I've voted for" to come.
No, they'll just continue to blame dems, immigrants, and anyone else under then sun except for their godemporer for the mess they voted themselves into.
Oh of course, the Brexit idiots were also faulting the EU for "retaliating", as in reinstating border controls for UK citizens when the UK pulled out from the relevant international treaty.
They are never wrong, are they?
I'm reminded of the old white lady who straight up said to a camera last time, "he's hurting the wrong people!"
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
It's simpler than that. They have literally no idea what tax incidence even is, and think the government just decides who the burden falls on.
"Build a wall and Mexico will pay for it" you're right
"Greatest country on earth" sorry bud, just lost that title.
