Inequality continues to rise rapidly. Everyone but the most well off living conditions continue to decline. The wealthy elite need to make stories that distract people from this problem. So they will blame immigrants and "bloated inefficient governments" for the problem. And will push anti-immigration and "personal liberty" and "more free markets" as the solution.
Instead of the obvious problem that Inequality is rising and we need to substantially raise taxes on the rich and reduce them for everyone else to close the runaway gap.
