our country must amass increasing amounts of the world’s resources (Public Board)
The propaganda isn't stated quite that coherently. It sounds like the basic creed of neocons, that the US has a divine mission that amounts to "Manifest Destiny" but applying to world domination. I'd say, yes, that is exactly what we in the US assume the norm to be, but it's implied and under the surface.
Another model for the social and economic behavior of the US is general exploitation. The objective of every business and government enterprise in the US is to target and exploit some part of the population or economy. IE, trivial example: CA dumps billions of dollars into homeless services, directors of these NGOs take home enormous paychecks, yet homeless keep increasing in California. The homelessness "aid" industry exploits the homeless and keeps them homeless in order to extract wealth.
