Is "the rich getting richer" a problem?

The rich getting richer is a problem if they fail to create jobs. The rich getting richer creates a massive imbalance of resources and and power. Those who become rich kind of have a duty to give back (through domestic job creation) so the economy can run with fluidity. The people need to make money to spend money to keep the economy running and not being rich need a safety net of funds to fall back on through savings. The w. ealthy run the show in America because of the great imbalance at the expense of the people and its become obvious who congress supports. I guess history repeats itself.

I can't help but think... more jobs would be created if job creators didn't have to put up with so many regulations.

Frankly, I don't have any bitterness towards companies hiring overseas. Those people arguably work harder, you can pay them less, give less benefits, and they're less likely to sue. In America, well you just wait for your employees or customers to sue you. They're always looking for an excuse.

Internal growth is exactly why Germany is becoming one of the most efficient countries during this world crisis. They train their own properly and allow their economy to grow from within to the point where Germany was expected to bailout Greece. Most (excluding companies like VW) don't leave their workers out in the cold so they can profit off of cheaper workers. Personally most German businesses believe they have the best workers in the world, sounds eeriely similar to how the US was when everything was self made after WWII doesn't it? If the top 1% sell out the US when it comes to jobs, then it can be expected that the divide will grow. When a company in the US tries to grow they are quickly bought out and put under so that the larger corporations can grow without much competition. They will grow around us to a staggeringly dangerous point. The way things are going Capitalism will soon evolve into something as the gap between the middle class dwindles and the divide between the rich and poor grows. The US is supposed to be the land of opporunity, for all who enter. You can find good workers anywhere and this is true who work arguably harder for less, but wheres the opportunity domestically? Please....the way this country is going there is no quick fix and the businesses know it. They have to be regulated because they've grown around the country itself. I don't want to even get into their influence on congress. When you see the mentalities of most of the top American businessmen you start to realize their connection to money is on the level of obsessive and though they give back a bit to the community, they don't want to give a good enough portion back to the economy. To put it simply, my grandfather told me the biggest savers have always been the wealthiest.
