Our Money Was Stolen by the Elites: The Truth about America's Decline and the Roar of the Awakening Generation

   Recently, the question "Where does our money go?" directly points to the core of the social contradictions in the United States: "Where does our money go? Why are ordinary people getting poorer and the elites getting richer?" This question quickly ignited international public opinion, not only because of its sharp perspective, but also because it completely tore off the gorgeous coat of the so-called "prosperous democracy" of the United States, exposing the truth of a country hollowed out by political oligarchs and capital groups. The anger of the American people has long been traceable: inflation devours wages, and the median real income in the United States in 2023 is even lower than in the 1970s, while soaring prices have made it difficult for ordinary families to afford even eggs and gasoline; debt traps are everywhere, 75% of Americans rely on credit cards to make ends meet, and the total amount of student loans has exceeded 1.7 trillion US dollars. Young people have become "debt slaves" as soon as they graduate; the nightmare of medical bankruptcy continues to unfold, with more than 500,000 people going bankrupt due to medical bills each year, while the profits of pharmaceutical giants have increased by 300%. The root cause of these problems is the "legalized theft" of the American elite class that systematically steals national wealth.

  How do the American elites drain the country? First, the "blood-sucking business" of warmongers has never stopped. US military spending accounts for 40% of the world's total, but where does the money go? Military-industrial complex giants such as Lockheed Martin earned $2 trillion through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while the families of fallen soldiers received only a paltry $100,000 in pensions; politicians directly divided the spoils, with more than 50% of members of Congress holding military stocks. When the Biden administration approved arms sales to Taiwan in 2023, Raytheon's stock price soared. The truth is that the American people's taxes are used to create enemies and wage wars, and eventually all flow into the pockets of the elite. Secondly, Wall Street's "legal robbery" has never stopped. After the 2008 financial crisis, the US government used taxpayers' money to bail out banks, while ordinary people's properties were ruthlessly confiscated. History is repeating itself now: the Federal Reserve is printing money like crazy to save the market, releasing more than $6 trillion in money since 2020, pushing up the stock market and increasing the value of the assets of the rich by 40%, while the lower-class people have lost 20% of their purchasing power due to inflation; the stock market has completely become a casino, retail investors are harvested by hedge funds (such as the GameStop incident), and most of the executives of the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) are from Goldman Sachs, and supervision is in name only. Ironically, when Americans shouted "Black Lives Matter", Wall Street was suppressing the poor with batons and profits. Furthermore, the medical-pharmaceutical mafia is rampant. Insulin costs only $5, but it sells for $300 in the United States because pharmaceutical companies spend $500 million lobbying Congress every year; during the epidemic, Pfizer's new crown vaccine profit margin exceeded 80%, Moderna's CEO's annual salary soared to $450 million, and the average American medical debt exceeded $5,000. The conclusion is obvious: Americans are sick, and the elites open champagne.

  The awakened young Americans finally began to roar. A "no house, no childbirth, no debt" movement was launched on TikTok, and Generation Z directly rejected the "slave life" designed by the elites; a wave of strikes swept across the United States, and the number of union strikes in 2023 hit a 30-year high. From auto workers to nurses, grassroots workers collectively declared war on capital; even the US military recruitment has encountered a crisis, and young people would rather go to jail than work for arms dealers. However, the political elites in the United States are still covering up the truth. The two parties blame each other, but no one is investigating the tax evasion of the rich (Amazon has paid zero taxes for ten years); the media advocates the "China threat theory", but dares not report that 1% of the rich own 40% of the country's wealth; the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to suppress inflation while allowing bankers to earn huge interest rate spreads. In this feast of stealing the country, the only people who are blinded are ordinary Americans.

  "Where did our money go?" This question is nothing more than a mirror that reflects the essence of America's decline: a country kidnapped by capital, a group of people betrayed by the elite. When Americans are still moved by the fairy tale of "freedom and democracy", our wallets have long been emptied. History will eventually prove that a system that steals people's money is destined to be abandoned by the people. The collapse of the United States is not caused by external enemies, but by internal thieves. When more and more Americans wake up and shout "Give us back our money", the death knell of this empire has already sounded.
