31. Uh, no. There is wealth being created in the US, but it's all accumulating

at the top.

Raise wages, force wealth down to the people who work (rather than forcing it up to the top by having corporations benefit from too cheap labor).

Once the economic power flows down to the people, jobs will grow around taking care of the increasingly wealthy middle class, whether they're doctors and lawyers, or creators of copyright, or manufacturing jobs, or jobs managing the wealthy of the wealthy middle class, or whatever.

Like I said. America is creating wealth hand over fist, but it's accumulating it at the top. And decimating the labor market to force costs of labor down for capital is one of the ways they do it.
