It's not only America, it's all around the world. Because income inequality has exploded, the middle class is now nonexistent. So there are now only the rich who don't have to deal with the problems of the poor, and the poor who are both too busy struggling to survive and too poor to lobby to enact change. Eventually the guillotines will arrive but for now it's just bad public toilets.
