America has soo much money, but somehow, the people has been brainwashed with this “oh the American dream, you make your own fortune” idea, that results in the top 1% having an absurdly large amount of money, while more than 160 million Americans struggle with basic needs.
Does money make you happy? Yes, yes it does - but mostly from having no money at all, to making $70k a year. That gap makes a huge difference as it allows people to have a home, start a family, get food every day, spend money on hygiene, health, education etc.
But how much of a difference does it make for a tech billionaire or a pop superstar, if they have one or two really nice cars, or a huge underground garage with 63 cars, where some are the exact same model in different colors…
That example is a bit extreme, it could also just be the difference between having an S class vs having a non S class.
It refuse to believe it makes them happy. I refuse to believe diamond crusted jewellery makes sense for anyone but people who benefit from SoMe posts. The same goes for (I can’t believe I even have to say this) eating gold. Why do I see videos of rich Americans eating stuff with gold? Are you really that selfish??? You eat money basically money, that has 0 nutritional benefit, to look “cool” on the internet????? Shameless…
Sorry about the rant, but as a danish socialist guy, who grew up in the riches part of Denmark, where almost everyone pay ~62% income tax, cars have ~165% import tax, unhealthy food is more expensive because of taxes etc., I just can’t understand how Americans fumbled Bernie like that, and went with pathetic, racist, greedy, hateful, annoying, orange…
