  Please provide some examples of where poor people sold the great swaths of land they themselves owned to American companies. Or are you talking about poor people packed into cities that don't own enough land to grow a blade of grass and never did?  it's often times their corrupt governments selling the land at the expense of their people for $$$  surprising?  Madisonian  00-00-0000, 00:00 PM  They are not. The working people of the US form a Labor Aristocracy.  Still, because American companies outsource their labor for near-starving wages abroad, purchase huge swaths of land so local communities cannot farm them on their own, and stock our department stores with the products of this horrid labor that we buy for cheap, we should definitely be on that list.  I am also curious as to where you buy much of anything and keep to your moral and economic principles.
