Economics -
1.Even if its true, that the USA is the richest country in the world in raw number of dollars.. there are several issues within it, that make it questionable about whether or not it is truly an economic success.
There are more multi hundred billion dollar corporations in the USA than anywhere else.
There are fewer CEO's per capita in the USA than there are anywhere else.
There are more stockholders whose stock holdings are worth millions of dollars, both per capita, and in number in the USA than there are anywhere else.
There are more Minimum wage workers in the USA in relation to both the above, than there are anywhere else.
There are more Minimum wage workers in the USA than there are any other type of worker at this point.
This means the Income equality is amongst the worst in the world.
2. There are more people in the USA who live in trailers, than there are anywhere else.
No other westernized country in the world even allows people to call home, a trailer.
The UN recognizes trailers as Refugee Dwellings.
Btw, a trailer is one step above the tin shacks that litter Haiti.
The Average class size in a Public school is around 35 to 40 students, with between 1 and 2 teachers.
(the majority of times, a two teacher situation, is simply 1 teacher, with a teacher's assistant, not really having two teachers)
There is not even a guarantee, that the teacher is qualified, they are there simply because they meet a minimum standard, which from my own experience, those standards are way too low.
This makes the USA one of the worst places for Children in terms of Education.
So who is really getting the wealth of the USA ?
It really isn't the person who works here, that is for sure.
So the experiment with Pure Capitalism, is a failure
Health.
The USA by far, has the most people in the world receiving emergency healthcare as opposed to routine and preventative healthcare.
More people in the world dial 911 for healthcare, than any other emergency number in the world, because 911 is the USA's number.
This makes the USA about the bottom, for Healthcare.
Crime.
No major city in the USA has less than 200 murders per year, the average number is around 300ish.
This means that a typical major city in the USA has as many as, or murders in a single year, than entire nations who have between 20 and 60 times as many people.
So America's society is a failure
Fashion.
America still has plenty of fashion, but the inner cities where Fashion really comes into prominence, are putting out a hell of a lot of cheap "ghetto art", that does not sell at all, in the world market.
Because the truth is, they are not famous brands, nor are they good brands, and they are cheap and ugly.
America's fashion is a Failure
I am NOT sold on the idea that foreigners outside of the USA, are intellectuals who read stacks of books a year, who play chess, and study Art history, and attend Orchestras, or play in one.. who also speaks 10 different languages.
But by and large, The USA's knowledge about Art History, and World History, and Knowledge about Evolution, and ability to speak 1 single foreign language is probably amongst the worst in the world.
America's Cultural outlook is a Failure
So in what way is the USA truly a Success ?
