USA has the "first world" in economy and some "third world" in policies, I think it will take 60-80 years to become "first world" in all the fields.&#x200B;<br><br>For example: USA doesn't have free education for all, doesn't have free healthcare, doesn't have free internet - despite being a developed country. <br><br>Honestly I think the problem lies in the "American Dream". One looks at the rich people and thinks - "I can become rich too". But in reality they can't. So, they blame government for not taking care of them, as government is not a rich person they can't become. In 50s it was possible to become a doctor with a high school degree, start working and studying in high school for 2-3 years. Now you are required to go to college for 13 years and get a debt of 300k dollars, which will make you work 2 jobs for the rest of your life - you will need to work as a doctor and also work part time at mcdonalds. If the government raises the minimum wage to 20 dollars, you will still earn the same amount of money as you can earn working 2 jobs, so you won't even think about blaming the government. <br><br>If the economy of the country grows, the government should give more money to people, to let them live better, but it doesn't happen in the USA.
