If an Iraqi liberal democracy had been created, I have no idea what it would look like. It's very hard to imagine, as that region has a very weak history of democracy. However, we could probably predict that it would end up looking something like Turkey's system, with Islam being much more present in government. It's likely that the power struggles between Sunni and Shia Muslims would be represented in a parliament or house of representatives (whatever legislative assembly they create), and would, as in our timeline, be greatly inflamed by the American invasion.
I'm happy to find sources to counter it, but I remind you that the burden of proof is on you. You're the one who claimed that billionaires will flee NYC.
I'm fully aware they are private companies. What did you think I was getting at?
Besides, the taxpayers are still the ones paying in the end. Why do you think these private companies are funding Trump's little experiment? Because they want to earn some favours. Think tax cuts, subsidies, the like.
And in the end, the tax burden is shifted back to American workers who are living their lives on the edge. A little bit of critical thinking never hurt anyone. I'd advise you to go beyond the shallow thinking that defines the comments of people like you on this platform.
In capitalism, it is increasingly impossible to work for a living. I'd like you to say those kinds of things to the millions of young people who are searching desperately for work, but cannot find any, as capitalist parties the world over cut employment to benefit their donors.
