Reason B  Anti-American

1. Will not benefit
Its not going to benefit the people who are injured including from military burdens

2.Trade
When you force someone to trade it costs most of the profits to secure that trade, and the profits are very small to begin with. So in order to trade you need both sides willing to trade.

Trade
1.  It would not be profitable to force countries to trade with the u.s because it would cost and retain money from the profit the us gets trading with people. It should be voluntary.
Philippines
2. If the u.s were to educate the filipinos it would not be fair because the u.s is governing them without their consent which could end badly for the u.s since their giving them no voice in anything, especially in taxes.

Senator Beveridge used the growing American economy to show that the country can continue to grow and the economy can continue to improve in order to build his argument that America should imperialize.

2. Power in more territories
Senator Beveridge also argues we can lose power over certain civilizations and countries. He claims America provides a humane and civilizing government for countries it takes to power over.

1. Hard Workers Hard Money
It's not going to benefit the farmers or the laborers, the pay they earn is little and what they need to pay is a lot.
2. Unfair Equality
Everyone should be treated equal, getting equal payment and no special treatment for anyone just because they are at a higher class.
