During the Industrial Revolution, many inventions were invented that enabled greater, faster and more extensive production. At the same time, capitalism is developing. Capitalism implies the realization of profits made by faster and more efficient production. Faster and more efficient production is achieved, among other things, and through the use of all inventions of the industrial revolution. In addition, higher profits are generated by cheap labor, cheap raw materials. Inexpensive workforce and raw materials involve cutting costs of investment in production as much as possible. To achieve this, it is moving with dominance over other regions and underdeveloped countries, where there are small incomes, where there are abundant natural resources that can be exploited. Powerful and developed countries with developed industries always have an interest and are motivated to dominate the underdeveloped. That's what we are witnessing today as well.

They are also highly security-oriented, some would say in a much more effective way than the US government, and its security apparatus employs profiling techniques which almost undoubtedly have a racial component (<span>and </span><span>conservatives would no doubt want to insist that these two facts are directly related). I believe that taxation rates are roughly on par with that in the US, if not a bit less... though not nearly as low as Switzerland. </span>
