Hi Ratboy;
I have some questions for you and for everyone who is interested to reply. I chose you due to your support for the libertarian movement.
The questions are as follows;
1- What is the opinion of the movement in regard to big business (conglomerates)?
2- What is the opinion of the movement in regard to government?
3- What is the opinion of the movement in regard the relationship between the US government and big business and the role of big business in influencing the US's foreign policy?
and finally,
4- could you comment on the following statement by General Butlar through the eyes of the libertarian movement.
"âI spent 33 years ⦠being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalismâ¦.
âI helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1916. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City [Bank] boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Streetâ¦.
âIn China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolestedâ¦. I had ⦠a swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals, promotionsâ¦. I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three cities. The Marines operated on three continents.â (p. 93)
