Your question is the WRONG question. The question should be and IS, 'why are this countries rich resources increasingly going into the hands of a small group of uber wealthy Americans, taking them FROM Americans who have as much of a right to benefit from their OWN resources as this small group has?
Have you seen how our wealth, going back to Reagan, is distributed?
How would you react if, eg, you live in home with approx 12 family members. 10 of whom work to bring money into the home. But 2 of these family members contribute NOTHING to the family in terms of earning anything. However, as soon as the fruits of the labor of the other 10 workers are brought home, these 2 grab most of it for themselves, leaving only crumbs for those who actually earned it?
If you're okay with handing over all the money you and your other family members earned, to the two who have done nothing to earn it, hoarding it for themselves even while those who earned it cannot afford the necessities of life, then I get why you are asking this question.
