You have very well described the problem that will destroy the USA. Almost half of the country have no future without the government taking care of them.

What to do?

Useless eaters.........this is an old term made modern by such ghouls as Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab's techno side kick at WEF. The government worker is the prime example of unproductive useless eaters. .

"We don't need you but we're nice and will take care of you." Just keep up with your vaccines, useless eater.

Do you think it could have something to do with a steadily increasing share of our national wealth concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest 10%, while the combination of costs for housing, insurance, medical care, food, and child day care make it increasingly difficult for the poorest 25% to make ends meet?

The top 10% hold 67% of all household wealth in this country today. That compares to 56% in 1989.

That is the way of the world, unfortunately. If the wealthiest 10% did not do what they do, there would be little for those bottom folks to do. That is a basic lesson of the Rust Belt.

There is a phenomenon at play here that I hate. I saw it first in Newport RI, and have noticed it at ski areas, and tourist areas everywhere. Carmel-by-the Sea is the worst I have seen

Tourist areas are damned expensive for the people that live there as the 10% come in and escalate all the prices for everything, because they can. Resort fever makes things difficult for the rest of us. Californication has driven prices here, in Colorado, Oregon and Washington through the roof.

The top 10% pay most of the taxes, the bottom 50% pay none.

Wow, what a heroic view of life. Just let things happen. Whatever!

10% of your income right off the top to the Church, Mosque, or Synagogue of your choice. If you refuse to pick one, one will be picked for you by Gort and other such galactic robot policemen.
