5. The US does not believe in spending money on its citizens or infrastructure.

We are the richest country in the history of the world, but we lag in basic amenities compared to other industrialized nations.

Why?

1. Racism. White people don't want POC getting anything.

2. Puritan roots. Money is the root of evil, people shouldn't have any.

3. The wealthy power structure believes that the entire wealth of the country is theirs, and will not share.
