It is a poor country that has a lot of money. Truly rich countries are the ones that provide for their people. America cannot even provide the basic necessities, such as affordable healthcare and housing. Not to mention that the once great infrastructure is falling apart. There is also still massive systemic racism that only benefits American oligarchs. If Republicans and Democrats do not come together to solve these issues, we will continue falling behind truly rich countries, such as Germany, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, etc.
