The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The notion of the "get rich quick" mentality in our society stills exists today. This mentality has endured so long in American society because it is ingrained in the DNA of the American people.
Indeed, inherited from the first English colonists that founded the Jamestown Colony in Virginia in 1607, with the patronage of the Virginia London Company. The purpose was simple. To exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of the region and to get rich.
However, after so many years of neoliberalism as the foundation of the United States Capitalist economic system, the gap between the few who have more and the many who have less is wider and wider. You have to wonder why so few live in abundance while most of the society has to work very hard daily just to make ends meet.
Probably, Capitalism is reaching the end in its pure form, and some other countries are trying to come up with a new form of an economic system that shares the wealth in a more balanced way.
