America today - bottom 3 for developed countries

Amongst the 30 or so developed nations, America now ranks :-

Absolute bottom for civil rights
Top 3 for political corruption
Top 3 for fastest rising debt compared to GDP
Bottom 3 for social mobility
37th for Healthcare efficiency
32nd for Press Freedom.
Around 20th for Education standards.
Top for income inequality.
17th for average wealth (and rapidly falling).
Bottom or near bottom for average life expectancy and American's life expectancy is now falling while it is still rising in every other developed country.

And it's getting worse every year.
Welcome to the "Land of the Free"

In 1980 America was undoubtedly the best country to live with undoubtedly the best future prospects and living standards of any country on Earth.
That is far from where we are now and we are still rapidly heading in absolutely the wrong direction.

Corporatism and the absence of the Rule of Law is not a good economic model.
Large Corporations can pretty much get away with anything now and frequently do.
