As the wealthy continue sucking the country dry, the question now isn’t
if the US will cease to provide a decent standard of living for its people.
Rather it is how many people will be sacrificed on the way down. In America,
the richest nation in the world when measured by raw GDP, children are
getting sick from living by open pools of raw sewage. The sewage-filled
yards were found in poor areas like Lowndes County, Alabama, where many
people cannot afford to install septic tanks, causing sewage to pool by
their homes. This untreated waste creates the potential for all kinds of
diseases. In Lowndes, it has led to the proliferation of hookworm, a
parasitic disease of the intestines commonly found in the world’s poorest
developing countries.

In America, the old devour the young. Young Americans are struggling under
the weight of $1.4 trillion in student loan debt. But don’t let that confuse
you about the state of America’s elderly. They too aren’t taken care of. In
many European countries people are entitled to pensions and they can retire
comfortably. In the US some have to work until they die as Social Security
isn’t enough to live on and Medicare doesn’t quite cover all of their medical
needs. As for healthcare, as many as 45,000 people a year die because they
cannot access it.
