As a European subjectively the bigger problem within the US is one of culture and education. Where in the past one had the feeling people in the US where at least interested in a better future, it now feels one third wants to actively burn it down (as long as it triggers their enemies) while another third isn't interested into anything that helps anybody except themselves. On top of that the societal contract in the US has been broken. It is no longer enough to get a good education to find a job that will secure your future. There is too much skimmed of the top for that to be possible. The big corps are so oversized and monopolized that any young entrepeneueship is crushed right there and then unless it is in tech — and even there your end goal is usually getting bought by the big ones. Where I live the minimum wage is double to that in the US and we have universal healthcare and a working social system and decent infrastructure. You just have to tax the big earners instead of stuffing them with the tax money from the small fishes.
