Most people prefer not tearing apart the richest country in the world, yes. Everything you are describing here isn’t particularly hard to fix, people don’t want to fix it because it’s inconvenient. Flipping the chess board is a child’s response.
Americans be like “Yeah idk man, I’m uninsured, living paycheck to paycheck, I’ll be paying back my student loans till I’m 35 and I’ll never own a home in my lifetime despite living in the richest country on earth, but revolting? Nah I’m comfortable.”

We use a relative poverty line. Roughly 80% of America’s poor are in the top half of global income earners after adjusting for purchasing power. The middle class is shrinking, but the lower class is shrinking too. This is because people from both are moving into the upper class. Inequality has been pretty stable in the 21st century. In Weimar Germany the monthly inflation rate peaked at 30,000%. Our monthly inflation rate is 0.6%
