I'm not an American and I don't really understand why you say this. Only a small percentage that the machine produces comes out in a form usable by non-rich people? Then what's, for example, Obamacare, which seems to be a system that finally resembles how health insurance works in many European countries? And isn't that same Obamacare under fire by lots of people who think that the machine shouldn't support the people and that everybody needs to support themselves instead of taking a piece of tax money?
I'm more confused than before.
