As a US citizen and resident who has only experienced college campuses in the US, I am forced to agree, but at the same time I would like to divorce myself from any government policies, and especially from whatever is happening in N. California. I also must inform you that I have no ability, personally, to implement social programs.
But I agree with you if you are saying that economic inequality is a huge problem in the US, though your examples of security aren't in a vacuum and at least somewhat are a reaction to and justified by crime, which is probably related to economic inequality. And yet crime is not justified by economic inequality. In a lot of ways, the problem here is appetite: everyone has an endless appetite for wealth, are gluttons for it, jealously, and can never get enough. Personally, I don't think it would be a bad thing if there were no rich and there were no poor, and everyone was gradients of middle class. I don't know how we get there from here.
