Smith defined wealth as that which is consumed by a nation. No evidence of a decline of wealth by that definition.

The groups you referred to as "producing the wealth" in country are busily removing the wealth from the country as we type.

Greedy corporations

You just love this rhetoric, Ann. You think that wealth is a pie. There is only so much of it, and when someone gets a big slice, it reduces the amount you get.

So the wealth of the US is going down? And not just as a blip but in a sustained way? I bet you the US is wealthier in 20 years then it is now and in 50 years then it is in 20, both in per capita and absolute terms.

Also if business are removing the wealth who is producing it?
