Hi, Pam,
We are an extremely wealthy nation. The problem is that all the wealth is at the top with more going there as we speak.
This is a huge problem. Especially in a democracy. It is what we expect to see in countries like Mexico. But the US was made great by the huge middle class which was created by universal free public education. Now the system and coffers have been raided and the middle class is being destroyed.
Few can become small business owners because Wal Mart has destroyed those. Manufacturing jobs have gone to China (and Wal Mart is responsible for driving them there, too.)
I guess predation is one way to describe it when the few take all the riches at the expense of the many. I call it thievery.
