I have a few problems with your post...
1) Microsoft - This is a public company and a FOR PROFIT company. What does this mean? It means that Microsoft is in business to have their revenues exceed their expenses. This means their products are to be sold at the highest dollar amount for the value it provides to it's consumers. This means, if they can charge for XBL, they will. Microsoft didn't "buy IW," they signed an agreement with Activision (who owns IW) to have exclusivity with downloadable content that they were providing for the BIGGEST title released up to this point. It's simply GREAT business to enter an agreement. It was profitable for both sides of the equation... Activision and Microsoft. Clearly you don't have an understanding of how business works in a free market.
2) America - You clearly have a complex when it comes to America. I'm really not sure why you are still holding a grudge over the Declaration of Independence. That really didn't effect you directly since, I presume, you're under the age of 234. If you don't like how a free market and capitalistic economy works then I suggest you move to a communist type of country. I hear North Korea is nice this time of year.
I suggest before you start to make an argument on a subject that you do a little research and make your argument a little more comprehensive. By just throwing around a few accusations it really makes you look foolish.
