Not sure why this is being downvoted, but the fact that it is is why the problem won’t be fixed. Nationalism (noblesse oblige) is the historical solution to this issue. The wealthy elites we have now don’t really care for the average American, so you’ll see the same policies described above continue.

We live in a time of incredible technological advancements on a uniquely resource rich land. Things should not be getting more expensive, harder, etc yet they are and that’s entirely due to our elites desire to increase the wealth gap.

There’s a lot of bipartisan consensus against nationalism and that’s not coincidental. America is run by billionaires. Any notion of left vs right in this country is just for show. Their bottom line is never affected.
