or, we soon will be. In 1900 the per capita income of Argentina was more than the US. A country rich with minerals and arable land. Look at it now. What is wrong with a society that heaps ever more rewards upon ever fewer people, while the vast majority of its citizens who are hard working and eager, get less and less. This is nothing short of dismantling the fabric of American society. This is the same party that supports illegal aliens so that meat packing and hotels can use cheap non-union labor. This is the same party that cuts capital gains taxes so that investors pay less percent tax than salaried employees. Productivity per worker has increased over the last 8 years with all of the benefits accruing to the investor and executive classes. Meanwhile, the workers are told to take more pay and benefit cuts. You'all better electrify the gates around your executive communities because one day the masses will be storming!
