America got all those bombs from a genie lamp, definitely no large scale industry that helped factory workers secure a middle class existence. The treats they consumed had nothing to do with the destitution their government caused in the third world either. The US did not overthrow a government at the behest of a banana company.
Please show us all where the profits of a giant corporation (United Fruit Company) from deposing President Arbenz in 1954 helped the middle class in America.
It only helped the profits of a giant corporation. Wait, are you using a right wing talking point that giant corporate profits help the middle class? That’s called trickle down economics and it’s been debunked for years.
