Mostly despite Democratic politicians, not thanks to. And degrading fast, as we can see in cases like this, or the more than evident net outflow.

Thanks Hillary for that, and the Honduran coup.

Doesn't change the fact that the US stands several steps above China in any human rights index.

That was a really long way of not explaining what the US steals, in terms of IP, from other countries.

It was also a pretty lengthy way to mascarade the damning false equivalence. China is, undoubtely, worse, in terms of human rights and development. No, the US is not the best. China is far worse.
