Remember this if you are serious: American Society is not one thing alone, it is many different groups agreeing to be Americans, bound together by our laws, traditions, and our language. We are fighting like cats and dogs over this now. Conservatives remember this, Liberals have forgotten.

In America (and similar countries) the goal is to get rich, try to get rich, or live in envy of the people rich or getting rich. The poor are unhappy because they see the rich enjoying all the toys, while the rich are unhappy because they live the reality that toys don't create happiness. On top of it, America's most absurdly rich are shoved down every ones throats every day through the media. The only happy people are the ones, rich or poor, that see beyond and recognize the true values in life. Anyway, the media ensures these false ideals continue and the banks and government recognized the benefits of this a long time ago, and they've made it easy for people to get a hold of these material possessions through means like leasing and easy-to-get mortgages, and many people live in endless debt to uphold the American image, or at least the impression of it to their neighbours.

These people are crooks------and, all countries have them.
Our welfare laws need to be updated, and enforced. The government does not seem to care.
And, some of these people who drive the big cars, live in these cars, or with other people. If they have homes, they are often not fit for people to live in. The big car is all for show....to make them feel important.
