Just because the disparity is happening elsewhere also doesn't equate to it being a good thing. I know our poor are not as poor as in most countries, but we are the wealthiest country on earth, yet can only seem to afford helping the richest class. The strength in our country is not the wealthy class, they are mostly just parasitic on the work of others.
You might also be surprised that even though the middle-class is shrinking, the majority are trickling up the socio-economic ladder, in the US that is, but not so in many EU countries.
That is counter-factual bullshti, N,and you know it. You can cherry pick a country or two, but you are talking EU in your condemnations.
And you would be better off if you looked at the relative level of economic mobility among the people of the united states versus europe. We have fallen behind in that category majorly as our wealth disparity grows. Europe has much more economic class mobility that us.
