We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both . As you can see that there are people who are making more then others. Alright, lets take a look. If you think about it, therefore, the problem is how much the poor people have. And of course in the US the poor have a higher standard of living, even more luxury items like TVs, swimming pools, telephones, than in the other countries.
Wealth is good when many people have it.
This is because money is a tool, nothing more. You can not eat, drink it, or wear money. The things we buy are not money, it is what money does for us. More money we accumulate, it is more tools we have and allows us to do the things we enjoy and make our lives a little more better. The citizens of the United States earn well over what they need and consume compared to other countries surrounding us.
