They were meddling for corporate profit. And if you think corporate profit helps the middle class then I’ve got a bag full of pigshit called “trickle down economics” to sell you.
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?
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.
Stupid tankies asking for sources. That's basically thought police - aren't you bozos supposed to hate the police? Hahahaha gottem.
