The American social contract is broken. Government services are utterly broken, not just due to incompetence but because taxing the rich is seen as anti-capitalistic.
If it were not for the strength of the dollar, the US would have been no different from a third world country. Crony capitalists, uneducated populace, politicians lying to said uneducated populace, corruption at all levels (there is county-level lobbying too), healthcare is inaccessible to the average person and the homeless and prison population is greater than the population of some US states combined
