Is everyone blinded by the fact that most of this is a result of Americas freedoms? In the US a citizen if free to pursue any economic avenue they choose. I chose to go to college and work hard at my job. Financially I am rewarded for that. Others chose not to. They refuse to work hard if at all. They choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle. They choose to break the law. They choose to have tons of debt. Like it or not, this is the "evil" of American society, that 90% of Americans are willing to accept. I have the potential to exceed the norm. I do not want to be "averaged" by stupid laws that subsidize unwilling people and curtail they vision of those that want to exceed the norm. The US has already tried that with the education system, and you can see how well that's working.
