In short, the sharp divergence of those who are doing well in America (Professionals, with high degrees, successful small business owners, etc...) and those who have only high-school diploma or school drop outs and those who are here illegally and working in tough labor, like landscaping, day labors and construction workers, and kitchen and restaurant business, all that has introduced a culture of dependency on unemployment and welfare system for the later group.
In addition, elected democrats are only pushing to keep the later group where they are, so they would keep voting for them.
The aging America and the unbalanced and unsustainable Federal budget is real catastrophe in the making for USA.
We hope that US people can understand the scope of the problem and send to DC people who can resolve and fix the Federal System. Or, the US people would rise up in their spring and take back the control.
At the end of the day, the people rulz.
I only have a HS diploma and I am a working professional making more than 70% of the country. I still do not see the value in a college degree unless you are going into a specific career (doctor, etc.). Maybe I am not a common example, but I worked my way to where I am and educated myself after high school. It is very possible to succeed without a piece of paper from the elite giving you permission. Other than that, I do agree with the basic premise of your post.
