Agreed. And/or using our military as muscle for

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military
service and during that period I spent most of my
time as a high class muscle man for Big Business,
for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a
racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make
Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American
oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba
a decent place for the National City Bank boys to
collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a
dozen Central American republics for the benefit of
Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the
International Banking House of Brown Brothers in
1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic
for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped
make Honduras right for the American fruit
companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see
to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone
a few hints. The best he could do was to operate
his racket in three districts. I operated on three
continents." -U.S. Marine Corps Major General

Thanks for that excerpt from "War is a Racket" I'm a Smedley T. Butler
fan too.

He prevented wealthy corporatists from overthrowing FDR too.
