Has the US built its wealth by scamming Third World companies?

Question

Why do I say this: an American company owes us $80,000 and there's little legal hope of recovering a cent

Answer 1

No.

I'm sorry the American company owes you money, but this doesn't mean that the entire country is corrupt. You just had the bad luck to run into a bad company, or perhaps just to make a bad business decision that didn't go the way you hoped it would.

Answer 2

Dear Zap, I believe that there are many U.S  and other Worldwide companies that scam & build wealth by misleading others. Are there any Companies that do this in your own Country?  Please respond.  Thanks.

Answer 3

Not entirely. We do, however, build our wealth in third world countries by legal business ways.

Answer 4

Absolutely not.

Answer 5

Not entirely, but I don't doubt there are and have been unscrupulous US businesses.

Answer 6

No...not yet. They scammed their own middle class and now  are preparing for other places.

Answer 7

Yes.  The US has also abused minorities and built it's wealth on the back of the poor.  And we must mention slavery as well, free labor helped a lot.

Answer 8

Sometimes I wonder. Theres very little we can do. I think we are just pons that are manipulated into whatever the government wants. It goes like this, America is good, all other countries need our help; Government can overspend with no penalty, citizens get bad credit and cant be selective  with house purches, cars, etc. I dont like the government that much but they have never scammed me. All through history the government has gotten flak from citizens. Their job is tough and I think that it wouldnt be America if someone didnt hate something about someone or something.

But your money issue, im sure there are the proper channels you can go through to EVENTUALLY seek justice. Sounds like you need a lawyer.

Answer 9

Actually, we're building the economy in Third World countries like China and India through free trade agreements and outsourcing.
