Americans are too busy trying to decide if they want to elect an orange king or keep the democratic experiment going a little longer to worry about small things like wealth distribution.

People are easily manipulated. A smart electorate is a very hard thing to sustain.

People are easily manipulated.

People are not easy to manipulate. The amount of ads required for political work are immense, what are you talking about? It would be easy enough to prevent manipulation of the public if the US wasn't so dogmatically free speech when it comes to right wing speech.
