Short- and long-term GREED by those who already have way too much is what's doing in not only the economy of the US but touching off crises around the world.

"Money is like manure. Pile it up and it stinks. Spread it around and it makes things grow."

Can't remember who said it, but the rich guys have been more interested in piling it up for the past twenty or more years (5% of the population owns 95% of the wealth) and then can't understand why the economy isn't growing. AND they don't want to pay any taxes to contribute to the well-being of the country.

Greed is NOT healthy!
