Deepak, America was great between the years 1730 and 1913 when real free-market capitalism and personal liberty existed and most of the things you pointed out are the after-effects of those golden years but the last 90 years have been more corrupt and secretively oligargic which is why you are seeing the beginning of the end of US. [Just over the last 10 years, the wealth of the billionaires grew a whopping 800%, of the millionaires grew a modest 20%, while those of others grew a mere 8% - while the unofficial and accurate inflation over this period was around 15-20%. A sure case of the very few billionaires swindling money from the middle- and lower-class not based on free-market but other nefarious means like controlling the Federal reserve, subsidies for corporations, illegal funding of wars and nation-building work around the world]
