Prager: "Affluence is not the normal condition"

Prager: A question to ask liberals--How do you think America achieved its high standard of living?

Thought I would enshrine this in text. As Prager notes, the best-informed libs will tell you we exploited everyone else. Other nations, other races. We enslaved Africans (actually we didn't, we bought the already-enslaved from Muslim traders, though, and thus created a market for natives to enslave their neighbors all the more), the natives in the western hemisphere (actually the majority opposed wiping out the Indians, while an active minority carried this out), we conquered other nations and took their resources (yeah, that sure happened a lot, the list of conquered nations is ... three or four long?), and there are many other complaints about evil America that I'm too bored to list right now.
