The United States provides the highest quality of life to the highest number of people in the history of the world! Our poor people would be considered rich in many countries.
There will always be rich and poor, unless you implement communism, then everyone except for a few select, will starve. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome is what we should strive for.
You need to study up on your history and be more careful what you believe. Also your "let them eat cake" comment is absurd. The rich get together for parties and eat cake, so do the poor. Anyone in the US can eat cake because our quality of life affords it
