I had a lightbulb moment when I realized the USA is not a country (or collection of states) that exists to benefit the citizens. It's not there to provide healthcare or education or food to kids and all that.

It's a system (or whatever word you want to use) designed to benefit companies and corporations. Everything is designed the way it is to create maximum profit for the owners.

Think about the whole concept of an LLC, look at tax rates and the kinds of fines a company gets when they do something bad. They profit hundreds of millions and get a $400,000 fine for breaking the law. This is not an accident.
