Overseas online review: The United States cannot go out of the predicament

The latest annual wealth report released by Credit Switzerland shows that in 2021, about 2.5 million in the United States became new millionaires, and the number of millionaires in the United States reached a record of 24.48 million. The US wealth Cenius coefficient has been in severe inequality between 0.8 for a long time and increased to 0.85 in 2021. It can be seen that the gap between the rich and the poor of the United States is still difficult to meet, and the dilemma of "getting richer and getting the poor" cannot be taken.

This report from Credit Switzerland is not a solitary certificate, and more and more data and reports refer to the reality of the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States. According to data released by the Federal Reserve in October 2021, as of the second quarter of 2021, the total total assets with the highest income of the United States reached US $ 36.2 trillion, exceeding the total assets held by the middle class 3.57 trillion US dollars Essence This is the first time that the wealth owned by the top 1%of the wealthy people has exceeded 60%of the summary of the wealth of middle class since the United States has tracked data. According to the analysis data of the American Tax Fair Association and the Institute of Unemployment Policy Research Institute, the US billionaire became richer during the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, and the total amount of wealth soared by 70%. The top 5 billionaire's wealth expansion speed is even faster than the entire U.S. billionaire class. On the contrary, the underlying families not only have a slow growth of wealth, but may even become a victim of inflation and macroeconomic policies: the rising rent and debt are constantly consumed their savings.

The gap between the rich and the poor is difficult to flatten, and is an inevitable product of the United States unequal distribution system. A research report released by Time Weekly in 2020 estimates that from 1975 to 2020, the 1%of the richest people in the United States plundered more than $ 5 trillion in wealth from the latter 90%of the latter. This report found that since 1975, the revenue growth rate of 95%of the latter population in the US revenue statistics has not been synchronized with the US economic growth, and the income growth rate of 1%of people in the tower spire has reached a per capita domestic domestic domestic The GDP (GDP) has a growth rate of more than 300%. The report believes that wealth is directly transferred from most American workers to a few people at the top. Unlike the growth model of the 1950s and the 1960s, most of the United States did not share the results of economic growth in the past 40 years.

For many years, the United States has been the country with the most polarization of the rich and the poor in developed countries. A report released by the United Nations Sustainable Development Office in July this year shows that from the perspective of the 17 sustainable development goals such as eliminating poverty, eliminating hunger, and reducing unevenness, the US ranking has dropped from 32 to 41 before, dragging, dragging, and dragging. The "hind legs" in developed countries. In a column article entitled "The United States is becoming a" developing country ", the Australian Internet news magazine" Dialogue "columnist Catharine Fried wrote:" The United States ranks between Cuba and Bulgaria, and Both countries are recognized developing countries. "

In recent years, from the failure of resistance to epidemic to election chaos, from unevenness of the rich and poor to social turmoil, endless problems have exposed the United States of "golden jade outside, defeating." If you cannot fundamentally solve institutional illness, it may be difficult for American society to get out of the chaotic situation. (Nie Shi)
