However, Americans and immigrants alike cannot achieve this dream anymore because of the preexisting powers within America. These powers controlling America are making life more difficult for newcomers and young adults that must start from scratch. The great imbalance of power inside America begins with wealth. In a recent article by The Huffington Post, it was noted that, “in the U.S., 75.4% of all wealth is owned by the richest 10% of the people. The comparable figures for the other developed countries are: Australia 50.3% [and] Canada 57.4%” (Zeusse). Only ten percent or thirty million people own well over half of the wealth within the American economy. While that number may seem large, that is a small amount of people in the United States, let alone the world as a whole. The comparison of the United States to other similar countries shows just how far behind they have fallen. A similar trait between Australia and Canada is that they provide higher minimum wages and universal healthcare, something United States citizens look down upon with disdain because it conforms to a socialist or communist
