Does The USA Have an Ego?

Today I will continue talking about the ego from my experience and personal opinion.
It beats trying to understand Freud's complicated id, ego, superego and reality, that stuff is for school.
However we all experience and live these concepts each day. We may recognize the importance of our ego in our life or we may choose to totally ignore it.

Two days ago I started talking about what tools I find important as someone begins to move toward entrepreneurship. I suggested you must control your ego and not let it control you. If people are going to have any sense of worth, it always comes through discipline and this includes controlling the ego.

We live in a culture that controls and manipulates everything. As a result the USA is the most advanced and wealthy nation in the world. Our gas, fiat money and food is manipulated and managed so that it brings a profit to the originators of these industries. However our homeless and blue collar workers never really receive the true benefit of wealth.

We may be able to say that the founding fathers represent the ego of the US?
