Would you consider it is something to do with the government, like illegal aliens and the greed of corporations in a capitalist society? I once read a quote on the primary function of any government. It was from the front of a 1947 textbook on government. It stated the purpose of any government was to make it easy for the citizens who followed the law, and to make it difficult for anyone who breaks the law. It seems, sixty years later, the reverse is true. It is easy for citizens to break the law, and for illegal aliens it is easier.
Then again, our main trouble in American society might be outside of the government. If you consider the implications of global travel and media, it is possible for Americans to see greater difficulties in other countries. We feel compelled to aid the poor and weary foreigners, and only in hind sight do we see the one truth: nobody can help those who will not help themselves.
So what do you consider to be the primary problem in American society?
