That is consequence of increasing government and taxes, a very effective way to take money from the poor and deliver to the elite that marry the politicians.

Its about redistribution of wealth.
Normally that works best if you have high taxes (on the rich), and much lower ones on the poor, this gives you a more balanced country (with overall less poor).

So no its not a consequence of increaseing government & taxes.
Its whats done with it.
In the USA you guys simply just dont prioritise helping the weak & poor, as much as other parts of the world does.

The american dream is just that..... a dream.
If your weak & poor, sick, in the USA you ll likely stay that way.
Other parts of the world, you ll atleast get help, and have a fighting chance to rise.

When you study economy you'll see how good of an outcome you have from high taxes on rich... I'll tell you the basic outcomes, higher prices (because they'll roll the increases to the product price), desinvestment (risk not worth), or moving money overseas (which already occurred several times in USA due to previous increase in costs).

Giving more power and money to government only increases the bad usage, appropriation and abuse of power.

If you want to think other way I won't use my time to show you how bad the outcomes of socialism have been so far.

The UN was created for the US, GB and RUSSIA. But mostly its a Tool foe the US to use its soft Power skills. It has a veto right there.

That actually says it all, very sobering, thanks

The real ones to blame for increasing inequality are the central banks and their shitty forced fiat currencies and the increased government size/spending/regulations. It is a multigenerational process, Trump has a very small amount of contribuction into this, whch started in 1913 with the creation of the federal reserve.

The richest country and the poorest at the same time. Sad as hell.

Well no shit, when politicians are only aiming to keep the rich richer so that they can get that sweet campaign "donation" and the campaign finance laws are so lax now that nearly all PACs are 503c shells which don't have to disclose any donor info this is the sort of mess we get. And yes, the Democratic Party definitely has part of the blame as well as they introduced mass-deregulation of Wall Street (and hey, a whole bunch of Dem senators just voted to roll back what little protection was in place since the last financial crisis). There is a party for the rich that campaign on one side for social issues which have no impact on the economy and there is a party for the rich that campaign on the other side of social issues which have no impact on the economy. What a farce American politics is.

Are you stating this as a positive or just a matter-of-fact? It's hard to tell.

The UN revealing the truth about how "bad off" US society is could contribute to the reason why people don't pay attention to it. Ignorance is bliss.
