In my opinion, I believe that the United States is not an economically just society. The economic structure lacks balance and an even distribution. The United States economy benefits from our struggles. Healthcare is outrageously expensive, and student loans are almost impossible to pay back. There are opportunities nowadays for the wealthy to remain so, and those in poverty struggle to make their way up. Taxes can be legally written off through business entities, making LLC owners prosperous in regard to finances. When you receive your next paycheck, look at the total amount of tax taken from your earnings. It is a ridiculous number, for what we are paying in taxes. Our tax dollars go straight to the government for "roads" and "education". In reality, we have billions of dollars being sent across the world, and our money is practically thrown away. Our economy is currently extremely unjust, and we have to pay to stay alive in the sense of healthcare and highly taxed food. In order to receive a high-paying job in corporate America, you must fork over thousands of dollars for a good education, just to end up paying more in taxes. Our country's economic structure is crumbling, and the media is focused on political leaders and their daily lives.
