American standard of living continues to fall.
Median wages hit a new low: $27,000.
quote: WASHINGTON — Fifty percent of U.S. workers earned less than $26,364 last year, reflecting a growing income gap between the nation’s rich and poor, the government reported Thursday.
There were fewer jobs, and overall pay was trending down — except for the nation’s wealthiest. The number of people making $1 million or more soared by over 18 percent from 2009, the Social Security Administration said, citing payroll data based on W-2 forms submitted by employers to the Internal Revenue Service.
Enjoy being a first world nation while it lasts, Americans.

Is that supposed to be a joke (in which case, I don't get it)? Or did you just get the terms reversed?

Seriously, how do people (and by that I mean you) justify this kind of smarmy condescension toward entire countries of wildly different people?

It's bitter cynicism.

I know what it is . I'm asking you why you're unable to cognitively separate entire populations into individuals, many of whom are neither evil nor rich, nor deserving of any sort of ill will.

"Enjoy _____ while it lasts" is an extremely common metaphor for "you have ____ now, but that's going to change soon, so enjoy it since it's a luxery you'll soon have to live without", essentially.
So, I'm not really sure why you take that as a statement of ill will.

Why would I? We elect our leaders; we deserve what we have coming. The natural consequences of our actions have doomed us. The ignorance, greed, and short-sightedness of our population has brought this about.

The economy is perfectly fine.
It's the Americans who are at fault here.
There are like a gazillion ways of earning more money easily, if you research thoroughly.
