In the not to distant future, at the rate things are going, there will
be two classes in the United States, the very wealthy and the very poor.
This country will become just like the rest of the Americas, with the
exception of Canada.
This is not because of immigration, legal
or illegal, it is because of the continuance of redistribution of the
wealth in the hands of the very few; including Congress and the White
House.
Wages have been dropping for years adjusted for
inflation, throw in several recessions along the way, and after each one
more wealth went to the hands of the few, wages decreased, as well as
the wealth of middle class and working class Americans. This has also
created a society that is credit dependent, because inflation and
decreased wages are not enough fro a majority of Americans to make ends
meet.
Also, those in their teens and 20s may be the first
generation, of the industrial era, who will not improve upon the
previous generation's accomplishments. This is development that should
not be ignored. This is a sign that not only their is a racial
disparity, but an age disparity, as well.
Thus, unless those in
the so called 99% finally demand changes at the ballot box, and through
other means, the United States will be a place where the "American
Dream" is only available to a select few.
