No, I think it's because no one will deal with the problem. What do you want to do? Cancel all welfare programs and let people who "overbreed" starve to death? I guess that's the american way.
Yes, cancel all welfare programs. No, don't let anybody starve to death.
Why do you think that the only solution is a government solution?

When Pizzaro came to the New World, he burned his ships. As a result, his men were well motivated to succeed, since there was no going back.
I have run a business in Denmark for 7 years , also in Germany , Sweden and Norway . If you think it's easier to get ahead in Europe you are extremely misinformed or plain ignorant . Denmark taxes your income from 40-70% , over $50,000 U.S. , 60 plus % . There is a 25% sales tax on everything . Every item here is at least twice as expensive as in the U.S. if not 3x . There are " special " taxes on certain vehicles up to 130% of value . I pay over $100 per month tax per vehicle on compact Toyota pick-ups , " oversized " . The goverment sets your hours and requires you to pay full salary pregnancy leave . Easier over here ???????? You don't have a clue about what you're talking about .
Many did just that, and found it shockingly much easier to get ahead. Take Denmark. Worlds highest rate of business startups.
Of course, what makes it so much easier to get ahead in places like Denmark, is the social capital the kids get growing up. Everyone who has the drive and ability can get a good education. And if you want to start your own business...you know something? Outside of the IT field, most people in Europe who starts their own business are people in their late 30s or 40s who feel they know their area inside out and feel they've gone as far as they can working for others.
People that age have famiies, and are just starting to feel their bodies decline. In America they need the health care their employer provides. So...no lean and agile startups to compete with their employers. Who can grow slow nd ineffective with the lack of small competition.

Yes, it is. Climbing the income ladder is available to every healthy and reasonably intelligent American. Millions of us have started with nothing and made quite comfortable lives for ourselves.
And millions more have failed. Honest, hard-working people. Often due to factors beyon their control, such as what families they were born into. And in some other countries, a lot of those hard-working failed would have made it.
People sometimes made it out of their social layer under feudalism. Those few exceptions does not mean that there was good economic opportunities under feudalism.
I am sooooo sick of reading that European countries are "socialistic" ? Total Nonsense.
And if you want to use that argument and get away with it, than you have to admit that the US is socialistic as well!!!
Or are you telling me that Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are inventions of capitalists to benefit the few rich people in the US ?????
What is so different between these three systems and the system European countries have?????
you are right and that is the reason the U.S. is declining, why do you think we are yelling, stop Obama and congress particular the democrats, from continuing the fundamental transformation into socialism Obama promise he would fundamentaly transform the U.S. now we see what he meant, european style socialism!
Taxes in Europe are substantially higher than in the US, and that's been the case for decades.
