To paraphrase the saying, People have the inequality they deserve. The USA is a developing country in that regard. The citizens tolerate and sometimes support the amount of inequality as well as the thin social net as motivational factors for growth. But this stance doesn't lead far away. When the low hanging fruit of "growth for all" is cut, the rich start going berserk against the community. I think we are at this tipping point.
