There’s plenty of literature about the growth of the middle class in America and elsewhere and none of it talks about the United Fruit company.

Lol. You’re conflating the MIC and multi-national corporate profits with the growth of the middle class domestically? You’ll need some sauce for your crazy ass theory. Let me know how the United Fruit Company contributed to the growth of the middle class. Did the UFC share their profits with the middle class?

Please show us all where the profits of a giant corporation (United Fruit Company) from deposing President Arbenz in 1954 helped the middle class in America.

It only helped the profits of a giant corporation. Wait, are you using a right wing talking point that giant corporate profits help the middle class? That’s called trickle down economics and it’s been debunked for years.

Are you actually arguing a right wing talking point? Do you think the profits of a giant corporation help the middle class? That’s called trickle down economics and it’s total bullshit.

Abortion rights is turning out to be a strong voting platform and Biden beat Trump before Roe v Wade was overturned.

Wait, you think independents will swing to Trump if he goes to prison?

What a horrible take. The world is not a zero sum game. The US in the 50s-80s is a good example of a thriving middle class and way lower poverty than now.

Edit: This is wrong. Poverty levels have been fairly stable since 1970. Middle class has shrunk but this does not appear to have had an impact on poverty rates.

JFC, can we have a carbon tax already?

At this point it seems he’s going for the felony world record?
