There is no relationship!.

Politically our systems of governments are vastly different!.
Militarily our use of force is humane compared to the methods of the Romans!.
Socially we are equally diverse but we don't have slaves!.
Economically we use a free market basis with government regulations to ensure fairness and equitable redistribution of the wealth to create and maintain a middle class, which barely existed in the Roman world!. Typically you were very rich or very poor!. There was a small merchant class however in Roman times!.

Rome also had an enormous empire that was a constant source of wealth for Rome!. The USA does not have an empire and has been very active in foreign aid to help other less fortunate countries!. Just the opposite attitude from the Roman attitude!.

But in terms of Roman's fall, most people don't get that right!. They think it had to do with declining morals!. That idea is completely false!. Rome fell due to the lead poisoning that occurred over many generations!. They got their water from lead pipes, ate off of lead plates, and put lead salts in wine to sweeten it!. This produce many serious health and mental problems that harmed Rome's ability to maintain its empire and protect itself from the Goths, Visigoths, Vandals, and other northern tribes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you have critical thinking skills at all,or are you just lazy!?No we're not falling as a superpower!.The fact that people are taking time to answer this question instead of rioting or starving proves otherwise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
