The U.S. is full of people with too much money and the problem is only getting worse. In the past ten years the concentration of wealth has risen to a historic level, but when will it end? There is no end yet in sight! Recent tax cuts continue to give unhealthy dosages of dollars to those who have no need and starve off those desperate for even a few hundred more dollars a year. The Great American experiment has lead to dystopia; liberty has turned into state larceny, and democracy into demagoguery. Inside this national tragedy the meek suffer what they must.
Most people don't know how to handle surplus, excess, lavishness, and decadence. That's because it's an infirmed condition. Disgusting exceedances create perpetual sloth of the soul, corrupt cycles of greed feed on themselves, gluttony becomes the normative objective. In the U.S. we have commodified democracy and sold off all things just, equitable, and charitable; in its place we've created the religion of spectacle, consumption, and foreign adventurism. We are stultified in our own peculiar embarrassment, the experiment that failed to enthrall the human imagination, but has fully captivated the cravings of the new financial emperors.
