The coming Presidential election and our polarized country has caused me to reflect on the decline or collapse of great empires. In this election a big issue is the huge growth in inequality and this has manifested itself in a backlash against establishment candidates.
The rise of Bernie Sanders on the left and Donald Trump on the right are signs of our discontent. The widening divide created by pitting one American against another and continued games of class warfare come at a great price. One thing is crystal clear, few Americans are busy bragging about the state of our union.
Corruption and crony capitalism are cancers on society that continue to grow if not constantly addressed with harsh measures. The widening divide created by pitting one American against another and continued games of class warfare only compounds the problem. The article below explores why so many Americans feel we are moving in the wrong direction.
