This is how the whole economy works, firstly there is no such thing as a "free market" its about connections not competitiveness. What this perverted system does is reinforce inequalities and wealth in a few hands and creating barriers to the rest of society from moving up. The United States is no longer a meritocratic society, social mobility is almost impossible for most people, instead more and more are being pushed out of the middle class into poverty, and debt. If Americans really want things to change, they really have to think beyond the current system, otherwise it will merely compound itself. Americans need to stand up in a real way.
