Wealth distribution is a big problem, because the richest can essentially buy the government (and that's exactly what they have been doing) [http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/11/us/politics/20...]

But if you took the money from the 1% and distributed it to everyone, it would probably amount to a few thousand dollars each, at best.

The reason for lack of jobs is the they all went to India, China, etc.

As for immigrants, don;t you think there is something awfully wrong with the fact that Massachusetts for years provided housing and money to the Tsarnaev family (the Boston bombers and their parents), yet war veterans are often homeless, because there is never any money left to take care of them?
