    Ah right, America is paid for and run by foreigners. I always forget that.

      About a third of American wealth and debt are held by foreign entities. So in large part, yes. Where are you from, that is without sin (besides, clearly, judgment)? I would like to move there.

        Individual income taxes account for $2.66 T or 51.8% of the US revenue. Social Security and Medicare taxes make up another 33%.

        Lol, always the same attempt at whataboutism. Rest assured I think little of my country either.
