What we--the US--are really good at
Okay, so in the last few months, I've put up different evaluations of nations about "best places to live", as determined by Forbes Magazine and others and now here's one from Business Week. It tells of what nations have the most millionaires.
And this, of course, is what the US is really good at.
Yes, we're at the top for creating millionaires.
Yippee.
Sure, there should be good ways for smart, hard-working people to achieve, excel and get ahead in the commerical world and lots of millionaires could be just fine, sure.
What's bad and unfair and wrong and inappropriate is when the wealthy class gets big and then bigger and bigger, while the middle class is shrinking and the lowest classes are rising.
That's a recipe for disaster and defeat for a country.
And it's, statistically, where we've been headed.
