With the explosion of the US IT industry and the decline of traditional industries, the original middle class, which accounts for 70% of the entire society, is disintegrating. In the foreseeable future, one-third of the middle class will ride the ride of technological innovation to enter the rich class, while industries replaced by software and artificial intelligence will decline, such as manufacturing and traditional service industries. More than half of the middle class falls into poverty. Of course, the average income of the poorest 10% of the population in the United States (in 2017, the personal income of $11,700 per year is the top 10% poverty line) is also classified as the upper-middle level of income in first-tier cities in China. However, society does not suffer from inequality. The high real estate tax and street tax in the United States are actually security costs. The poor people’s neighborhood taxes are low, resulting in poor infrastructure and public security. Therefore, many criminals are dedicated to committing crimes in slum areas. It is often that the police rush to the scene after half an hour after the gangster kills and overtakes goods. In the rich areas, a police car passes through the door every 15 minutes. Although it is not as exaggerated as in the movie.
