- Excessive politcal lobbying and influence by private companies leads to unprecedented profits by said companies

- Zero checks and balances against monopolies allows them to grow even larger without any stops in check

- Both previous factors makes GDP skyrocket, while inequality grows bigger too

Due to lack of political will / influence by pro-gun organizations, US proudly leads the world in the number of mass shootings too, so it's not just the best when it comes to MORE MONEY, but also more bullets :)
