The American experiment has failed.
Nonsense. This is the American dream. To be a pleasant one for the rich it has to be a nightmare for others.
It actually doesn't have to be a nightmare for anyone. The rich can have perfectly pleasant lives while everyone is provided for. It's just not the most profitable situation for the rich. To have their best life, everyone else must be miserable.
One could argue that it's their best life. To be richer than rich, one would likely get poorer in spirit. There's a reason the root of many evils is the thing that it is.
I can't imagine why it would feel bad for others to not be starving to death while they did reasonably well - which there's room for!
