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.
