July 4 Special:
Pro/Con of the United States

Pro:

-Demonstrated to the world that free market capitalism produces wealth
-Economic freedom in the 1800s and 1900s lead to massive innovation and productivity to improve many people's lives
-Original focus on individual constitutional rights gave a philosophical framework for global liberty
-Lots of hotspots for innovation: Silicon Valley, Wall Street, New Orleans music, & more

Con:

-Consistent military empire
-The violent empire erodes many of the civil and fiscal liberties that once made the US great
-Fiscal slavery over foreign minorities through the World Bank and IMF
-Global taxation of income, even if US citizens work in a foreign country
-While the US doesn't have the most oppressive laws compared to some dictatorships, the enforcement and surveillance is the most sophisticated.  When this is combined with complex and vague laws, such as cryptocurrency, it becomes the least free place for Agorism.
